The ghouls and gremlins in Sacramento are all tricks and no treats for CA drivers.
Politico (8/1/24) reports: "California Gov. Gavin Newsom directed state regulators on Friday to consider changing California’s gasoline content in an effort to reduce gas prices at the pump. Newsom told the California Air Resources Board to accelerate its review of a gasoline blend that would include 15 percent ethanol, up from the 10 percent allowed in California today. Adding more ethanol would increase fuel supplies, which is expected to put downward pressure on prices at the pump. The directive comes as Newsom is under fire for an upcoming vote on the state’s low-carbon fuel standard that is expected to raise gas prices by at least 8 to 10 cents per gallon. Congressional Republicans sent state regulators a letter Thursday requesting they delay their Nov. 8 vote. It also comes on the heels of a special legislative session Newsom convened to pass another proposal aimed at reducing what are typically the nation’s highest gas prices."

"The central elements of the economy would have to be rationed. First of all, living space, because cement emits endless amounts of CO2. Actually, new construction would have to be banned outright and living space rationed to 50 square metres per capita. That should actually be enough for everyone. Then meat would have to be rationed, because meat production emits enormous amounts of CO2. You don’t have to become a vegetarian, but you’ll have to eat a lot less meat."
