Newsom Mandates Electric Cars, Then Says Don’t Charge ‘Em!

You’ve probably seen the energy issue out there, or heard callers raising it with Clay and Buck on the show, but it should be getting a lot more attention. Gavin Newsom — the Democrat governor of California whose in-laws were just revealed as having donated to Republican Ron DeSantis of Florida — made a big deal about banning gas-powered cars in favor of electric ones just last week, and now — because they don’t have the supply of power — he’s telling people not to charge those EVs!

Here’s what’s happening out on the Left Coast:

● Newsweek: Californians Told Not to Charge Electric Cars Days After Gas Car Sales Ban
● SacBee: California Officials to Demand Conservation as Extreme Heat Wave Approaches
● SFC: Get Ready for Blackouts This Summer As ‘Unprecedented’ Strain Could Affect California’s Power Grid.”

Oh, but don’t worry. If you’re an electric vehicle driver, I’m sure they’ve got a schedule for you to charge up for eight hours a night. It’s all gonna be fine! It’s all gonna be fine.

It was left to Elon Musk, who runs the biggest and most successful electric car company in the world, to be a voice of reality. He pointed out that without oil and gas right now, civilization comes to a halt.

That is 100% true.
