CA strikes again with ACT

[Rollin Ollen]

So let me chime in on whether this thread is politics or not, etc. etc.



While some in the thread threw in some humor and pushed the lines, so be it, enjoy some humor, lighten up, we are here to have fun first and foremost but also discuss serious topics such as this. It's been educational and informative, we learned it could be expanding among other states and the power of crowd sourcing information about this is a great asset

I'd like to add a little levity to the thread. See my photos. A first Hybrid V10 motorhome. And NO it is not a real Hybrid. We used to live on Vancouver Island in Canada. Victoria is full of Eco Rabid folk. I often got a hard time when filling the tank with gasoline until I added the Hybrid emblem. I just pointed it out and was usually patted on the back for being so forward thinking in my purchasing. Just my way of thumbing my nose at the eco creeps. Seriously, I have had people knock on my door asking me about the Hybrid's performance!

I'm always professional except sometimes when I'm not. Point taken.

Let us return to our normal program now in progress.

I’m sure a bunch of randos on an RV forum know better that policy experts hired by our elected representatives.

Absolutely no doubt there. Our elected officials here are gleefully shooting the electorate in the foot. The examples are endless. So if that makes me a Rando ( new term for me) I’ll wear it proudly.

And let’s face it - the “policy experts” at the top (such as at CARB for instance) are almost always cronies. I’ve seen it first hand at the highest levels of Ca govt.

Edit: Rando: noun. ran·do ˈran-(ˌ)dō plural randos. slang, often disparaging. : a random person : a person who is not known or recognizable or whose appearance (as in a conversation or narrative) seems unprompted or unwelcome.

Yeah, I’ll take that.

I will personally avoid hybrid or anything that is not a traditional ICE.


Avoiding politics when discussing energy is not possible. Doing so responsibly is possible.

I have a Polaris Ranger EV and it’s very practical for my uses - only goes 30mph but wont set the fields on fire with hot exhaust, my solar charges it, and it gets around the ranch very well. Also have a good selection of lithium powered Stihl equipment - works just fine and it’s really nice to get away from 2 stroke maintenance. That said, an over the road EV would be a giant stretch for me.

Also I was amused one day last year when Gavin Nuisance came out with his latest EV mandate and just a few minutes later on the news the ISO requested that users reduce electricity usage due to high demand and insufficient supply. They clearly don’t get it and it’s all based on misguided notions, but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future.
