How much did China give him for this ? I'd guess $10,000,000

Meanwhile, last April the 9th Circus shut down a Calif ban on gas appliances. Could it mean the fight goes to SCOTUS getting involved ?

It wasn't that long ago and Natural Gas was the Clean energy that was being touted. I remember Transportation Bus companies and other businesses switching over to NG for ICE.

They seem to forget that NG was/is preferred as the alternative to coal-fired power plants. The tree huggers were thrilled and rejoiced in the news every time a coal-fired plant was converted to NG or shut down.

The irony is, the more they force electric usage, the more they will need NG power because wind and solar are proving they can't deal with the increasing grid load. Maybe even have to go back to coal power plants like Germany ? :lol:

Idiots want a more "green planet", but can't put 2 and 2 together to realize that more CO2 makes plants grow better and pump out more oxygen, thus a greener planet. 👶

Sure you can, just remove everything safety related. Might take a little while but darwinism will kick in eventually.

At this rate, we'll end up having to stay in bed and wait for the mattress tag inspector. 👶

Your tires will need to wear a mask.
