** Team Trump needs an energy point man.
------------------------------------------------------------
E&E News ([link removed]) (10/13/24) reports: "President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing a White House 'energy czar' to coordinate the incoming administration’s energy policies across the administration, according to two people with knowledge of the transition. The role could be one of several policy 'czars' in the White House under Trump, who has stressed that slashing energy regulations and boosting fossil fuel production are among his top priorities. It could also signal the incoming administration intends to centralize power in the White House as opposed to delegating policy work to departments. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a Trump loyalist who was on the president-elect’s shortlist for vice president, is viewed as a possible energy czar, said the people with knowledge of the transition who were granted anonymity to discuss personnel decisions...A coordinating role from the White House on one of Trump’s top priorities
makes sense, said Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance who led Trump’s 2016 Energy Department transition team. 'I hate the word 'czar,' but I do think the president should have somebody in the White House that prioritizes energy policy,' Pyle said. 'It’s a cross-cutting issue.' Trump has already named a 'border czar' this week, announcing that his former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, Tom Homan, will assume that role."

** "No Republicans voted for the IRA in 2022. Rather than take a scalpel to the law, Congress has a rare opportunity to undo all of it. A weak, partial repeal of the IRA will only perpetuate interventionist policies for years to come. The IRA is a watered-down Green New Deal, and the response can’t be further dilution—it needs to be a full rejection."

(11/4/24) reports: "Looking to buy a new diesel motorhome? If you live in one of six states, you may find you can’t. A new air quality regulation issued in California has effectively slammed the door on new diesel motorhome sales, not just in California, but in five other states as well. On October 24, CARB (the California Air Resources Board) amended its Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulations. Essentially, these new regulations require that all vehicles over 8,500 pounds GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) must produce zero emissions. A credit system allows manufacturers to continue to sell a given number of fossil-fuel engines in California, provided they have non-polluting vehicles to offset. Two major diesel chassis builders, Spartan and Freightliner, have told Newmar RV that they can’t meet that requirement. In a letter to dealers, Newmar says that effective today, November 4, they will no longer be able to provide any diesel-fueled motorhomes on those platforms. How does this affect
other states? Five other states have signed onto the CARB Advanced Clean Truck bandwagon. According to the Newmar letter to dealers, residents of California, Oregon, Washington, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts will NOT be able to register a motorhome that is not in compliance with the ACT regulation."

The fleecing of the middle class, all in the name of relevancy.

** California Globe ([link removed])
(11/9/24) reports: "The California Air Resources Board voted Friday to approve new gas regulations which will result in as much as a .65 cent per gallon increase in California’s gas prices. The California Governor, Legislature and State Air Resources Board are working hand in glove to restrict the availability of oil and gas and increase the cost of gas at the pump so severely, middle class and working class drivers will be making choices between groceries and fuel for the car. Remember that Gov. Newsom recently claimed Californians would save money at the pump with the CARB vote. The vote made significant updates to the low carbon fuel standard (LCFS), which requires the state to reduce the environmental impact of gas and other transportation fuels by incentivizing producers to cut emissions. The Globe reported on this in October, and said this is how California Governor Gavin Newsom is going to jump back onto the national stage. Because once his role as Joe Biden’s surrogate presidential
candidate was shattered as Democrats replaced him with Kamala Harris, how could Newsom remain present in order to facilitate a run for President in 4 years? Climate Change, that’s how. Because Gavin Newsom needs a new cause to appear to be relevant, Californians will be paying upwards of $7.00 per gallon of gas soon."
