My passion for public transport was crushed when the Covid tyranny threatened the prospect of vaccine passports as a necessary precondition for boarding. The bitter taste that episode left in my mouth will not dissipate in my lifetime.
California just abandoned its ambitious and irrational goal to eliminate the sale of new diesel trucks by 2036 and to convert trucking fleets to electric or hydrogen power by 2042. The California regulators knew their plans would be axed by the new Trump administration, hence the reversal. Maybe they could save their environmental face by mandating a greater use of rail for transporting commodities. Why ban diesel trucks when you can simply reduce the need for them, as they have been replaced by a transportation network that is 7 times more efficient? Alas, that would make actual environmental sense, and as we all know, sense requires brain energy which is a generator of greenhouse gases. My bad.
