Wow, the potential impact of SB350 on the economy to REQUIRE a 50% reduction in petroleum usage by 2030, just 15 years away.

Moms will continue to drive their kids to school and soccer, workers still need to drive back and forth from work, hospitality workers still need to drive to work, fast food workers still need to drive to work, truckers still need to deliver the huge amount of containers that arrive in our ports to serve the needs of CA and the entire USA.

California’s 100,000 electric vehicles are the most electric vehicles in any state, however, the other 97% of California’s 30 million vehicles that DO NOT run on electricity or other alternative fuels are consuming more than 40 million gallons of transportation fuels, gasoline and diesel, excluding jet fuel, EVERY DAY. Sounds like a lot of fuel, but it equates to just more than 1 gallon per day per vehicle.

California motorists and businesses are major consumers of fossil fuel products.

Even though there is a both projected growth in population from our current 38 million citizens, AND an increase in vehicle registrations from our current 30 million, the fuel demand is projected to decline slightly from the current 40 million gallons per DAY of gasoline and diesel, mostly as a result of continuous improvements in fuel efficiencies, and a slight impact by the 3% of vehicles that run on electricity or other alternative fuels.

We already have AB32 and the LCFS in effect to control GHG emissions. REQUIRING California’s 38 million citizens to change their lifestyle appears to be bad public policy and possibly unenforceable on abusers that do not reduce their usage by 50%.

It appears that a reduction from the current 40 million gallons of transportation fuels down to 20 million a day in just 15 years would be a drastic lifestyle change that could severely impact one of the world’s largest economies.

Everything being proposed here, like every other GREEN garbage project, ends up COSTING the taxpayer more and more every year. Check out the prices on ANY green item you might buy, and compare. Oh, and don’t forget the PAINT FEE put into place to pay for MORE Government employees, and hence, more UNION folks………………..
🙁 PGE is UP. Gas is going back UP. Bridge Tolls to pay for subsidies for buses and other stuff, and loser public transportation like Sac RT which is 78% subsidized…..
🙁 God help us………..

At some tipping point…….a recession….spike in inflation……Comrades will shop in one store…..period!

Great , I propose we immediately make it a FELONY punishable by 5 years in PRISON for ANY Public Employee, Public Servant, or Public Official to use any Private Mode of Transportation to and from their respective workplaces.
Plank One of this Stupid Plan solved.

Fifty percent of electricity generated from renewable resources ?

I propose we immediately install Human Powered Generators (Stationary pedal type generators) in EVERY GOVERNMENT OFFICE in the State, Every Public Employee, Public Servant, and Public Official SHALL PERSONALLY GENERATE all the electricity they need for their jobs .

Plank 2 solved

Doubling of the energy efficiency of existing buildings??
I propose we immediately DISMANTLE and Make inoperative EVERY ELEVATOR in EVERY PUBLIC Building and every building that has Public Employees in it, They can all use the Stairs.

Plank 3 solved!

What’s Next??
