Keep On Truckin’

We wrote yesterday about CA Governor Newsom decreeing an end to petroleum-powered vehicles in the state beginning in 2035. I’ve had additional thoughts to share.

With 1/8 of the U.S. population, CA intends to be the ‘tail’ that wags the dog, forcing the auto companies to develop electric cars and forcing all of us, including those who live elsewhere, to eventually buy and drive them. 

If the Democrats get control of all the levers of government this November, how long before the whole country has to follow California’s lead? Months? A year? 

If you own an RV, or would like to, how do you think that will be possible with all of us driving tarted-up ‘golf carts?’ Answer: You won’t, the eco-freaks don’t want you to RV. They’d prefer us all taking public transportation and, like strap-hanging New Yorkers, catching whatever plague China dreams up next.

The DrsC have driven all over North America, we’ve RVed to Nova Scotia and Key West, to Fairbanks and San Diego, to Brownsville and Saskatoon, and most places in between. It’s been an amazing experience, one we wouldn’t trade for anything. 

Don’t give up the dream of the open road!
