It won’t “destroy” the state, but it will hurt its economy, badly. It is the usual out of touch madness.

“Imagine” (1971), John Lennon could not have imagined this, you bought a very expensive Ferrari franchise in 2015 for the Hollywood or the Silicon Valley area. How would you be feeling now? All of this is the government being ‘force majure’ and big-footing you!

Then again, you probably voted ‘D’onkey Party so lick it or stick it!

This is a zero emission truck

Sarcasm noted ...

(It's powered by a 20-cylinder turbo-diesel ...)

It seems the people of California could stop all of this if they wanted to.

It ain’t gonna happen. They are running a train off the rails.

Unenforceable and never going to happen.
All the perps will be out of office by then, so just shrug “We tried!”.
If they actually did try to force this the push-back might get ugly.
Auto sales are a huge tax base item.
No sales = no tax, no tax means more new taxes.
There is a point of resistance.
So maybe the libs begin losing around 2030?

SCOTUS won't allow it.

Every state should fast track these issues while it's a friendly court.

If I lived in Crazifornia and didn’t, up till now, have a reason to leave those crazy people; them banning all gas powered automobiles and thereby forcing people to buy those electric cars or hit the shoe leather express, I would certainly leave now for sure. Any one who thinks that wind and solar power is going to be enough to power ANY COUNTRY needs to be up in the trees with the rest of the squirrels.

Another song that applies is “Red Barchetta” by Rush.

Not a Rush fan, but the song was prophetic.

I'll be retired in 2035.

I'll just sit out on the deck in my rocker and watch how this plays out.

“This is going to be something to watch.
Will this be the thing that destroys the state?”

Crazifornia has already been destroyed by the dems and libs.

The strategy is to keep the serfs inside their village limits or, even, on their own property...

After taking away serf transportation/mobility, next is to restrict the internet to government business only...

It was good enough for the serfs in the year 700 AD, it will be good enough for the serfs in 2025 & beyond...

There are no significant indications anywhere that the American serfs will resist...

Kali has been trying to “Outsource” their “Green” electric power generation for a LONG time now,
Seems they want to build in neighboring states what is already banned in their own.
We shot down one such ugly installation in Douglas County NV a few years ago.

If these solar farms, towers, arrays, etc. are really SO wonderful they shoud be required to build them in their own state.

Newsom and the people in Sacramento are psychopaths.

Probably, but there's no doubt they are plain ignorant of the facts surrounding the viability of electric vehicles. Also, the CA tree-huggers are going to wish they hadn't killed all power plant construction projects for the past three decades.

Banning the sales should elicit a big yawn. Auto sales in neighboring states would skyrocket. Now banning the USE of ICE cars is a whole other matter, but if that happens expect Cali to go more nuts than it is.
