The $400 Governor Newsome is planning to send to every Californian won’t last very long when each gallon of gas we buy carries $1.27 in taxes, soon to be $1.30 as of July 1. The question is, “Why are electric vehicle owners also getting this rebate when they don’t buy gas, so don’t pay the tax while driving on the same roads?”
Despite constantly bragging about their trillion-dollar Infrastructure Bill, the Biden administration is now threatening any such improvements by restoring stricter environmental standards for approving new construction projects, including requiring consideration of how such projects might affect climate change. This could even impede construction of new transmission lines needed to connect clean-energy projects like wind-turbine farms to the power grid and pipelines to natural-gas export terminals thus satisfying global energy demand. Like many of Biden’s off-the-prompter comments, it makes no sense.
