California is squaring off against automakers when it comes to electric cars
Business Insider ^ | August 3, 2015 | by GRAHAM RAPIER

The most powerful woman in California isn’t a celebrity, she’s not even someone you often see on TV. That’s because the most powerful woman in California is Mary Nichols, head of the state’s Air Resources Board.

Rules set by Nichols’ agency are among the strictest environmental laws in the nation.

Nichols’ goal is for every new car sold in California by the year 2030 to be zero- or almost-zero-emissions, a quest which is taking a toll on automakers selling these efficient vehicles.

September will be the biggest test for the 70-year-old Nichols’ grand plans. That’s when her mandate of having only zero-emissions on California roads by 2050 will be debated and voted upon by the state legislature.

Yeah. And I want to fly around on winged unicorns who fly on magic fairy dust.

There is such a huge disconnect between desire and reality with these people.

Amazing all her close-up and personal studies of pollution and coal plants and refineries hasn’t killed her.. Just like she claims continued use of fossil fuels will do.. So much for fossil fools and longevity being disparate partners.

Hi, I’m Mary Nichols. Don’t let my appearance fool you. I did manage my weight to where it is. Now I will micro manage automobile manufacturing with the same proficiency.

Just another fat ugly Liberal, seeking to control everyone else, even though they can't get themselves under control

CARB’s tough diesel particulate standards were based on the work of Mr. Hien Tran, who claimed a PHd in statistics but actually bought his credential from a diploma mill.

Mary Nichols had oversight of this matter at the time.

When you have used as many batteries in devices as she has you are an automatic expert, besides she doesn't care about the families in California, it's all about gaia.

“They all look alike don’t they.”

Yea they do. Usually a bit younger though, but ALWAYS female, and always with gray hair. And if their hair isn’t yet gray, they dye it that way, so as to signal their minions that that they’re with them.

Democrats sure love more laws, more rules, more police and more judges and lawyers. Police state where everyone will soon be labeled a criminal or a dissident.
