California legislators do not care about the practical details, as long as their abstractions become ever more pure.



Yeah, practical details are to keep burning all the gas in as dirty a fashion as we have been. Sound like a good idea?


It might be, depending on the particular case. For example, generators when the power goes out, as it does all too frequently in places.


I’d imagine that these have less overall impact. Along those lines, remote job sites probably need fuel-based energy.

In this case there’s some carbon and a relative lot of pollution going on.


Making that kind of tradeoff is something that California legislators seem very bad at.
