I sure hope this is a step in the right direction

Lift the ban on ICE vehicles in CA. Yep, let us make that choice. I sure hope this isn't fake news. Even if it passes, the nut jobs will veto it

I suspect once California hits the reality of a higher percentage of electric cars sucking on the overloaded near collapsing electric grid reality will slap them in the face. Gasoline is a wonderful and very powerful source of energy, and so very easy to fill a tank in minutes and continue on. Electric cars are perfect for commuting in a metro area, but electric has limits.

Hybrid just seems to be the best choice for both scenarios.

Exxon just bought Pioneer Oil for $69B.
They now own the largest chunk of the Texas Permian Basin.
This tells me that getting more US land based oil in the refineries is on the plate.

Passing the house is fine...but the Senate? DOA.
