A local columnist seriously misunderstands why climate legislation fails in the California legislature — it's not that we have weak evidence or bad arguments — it's that the oil companies are major campaign funders decade after decade, which buys them real power. www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/29/e...
Better yet, drive an EV.
EVs are better than ICE engines, but they are not gonna get rid of oil companies. The car itself needs to take a back seat to mass and active transit if we want to kick oil.
Got 3 hybrids. Love them ! 40 - 50 MPG
I have an EV and just bought a new one. Once you have instant torque, you can’t go back to dinosaur fueled cars.
Awesome! That's really how we defund this crap, HEV/PHEV continue to consume fossil fuels, poison the planet and kiddos, and fund this kind of quagmire with each pump visit.
Defund the oil companies.
We shall! Step 1 no care with ice engines of any kind, step 2 no methane to the home!
The CA PUC is in bed with the IOUs.
You mean like @governor.ca.gov and Getty oil money? Hummmmm
Not surprising to see the fossil fuel industry siccing their trolls on Gavin Newsom since California is leading the nation in terms of decarbonizing their economy.
The IOUs* have their hooks in Newsom. Consider Pritzker ===== * Investor Owned Utilities regulated by the PUC administered by Newsom appointees.
Everyone should stop thinking and talking about 2028 and focus on the elections in Virginia until we ramp up for the midterm elections.
As someone subject to PG&E and the "protection" of our PUC, I totally agree! he is just more big corporation democrat. Like the ones controlling the DNC...
On all politicians, it doesn’t matter about parties . We are domed , until changes can be made .
It has to be so unambiguous that even the people paid to dispute blatant facts cannot dispute them. Willful misunderstanding is difficult to overcome.
