California says no more diesel trucks to be sold in California after 2036. I heard of the lack of common sense in California but this beats the cake!
No Diesel Trucks after 2036 in California

So I can buy one out of state and drive it into California???
Your going to have to because there is nothing going to replace diesel trucks by 2036. A couple years ago they said they were going to have electric trucks, but they realized to get enough battery power to move a 80,000 pound truck for a few hours, the truck would weigh too much to haul any cargo, plus there would be a lack of electricity to run charging stations.
Those diesel trucks still left in California when the ban actually begins with be used to move people OUT and away from the dystopia.

What ever happened to biodiesel? 
I'm surprised they didn't look into that more...

Ahh the Great State of California so nice but yet so gloomy. But hey these Law makers who are coming up with these crazy laws are what the voters of California voted for so it’s ok .
Let's see whether run-away laws can grind itself to death like a diesel.
It will be interesting to see how the cost is gonna increase once EV trucks are in.

California has so much to offer, but the lack of common sense sure can ruin a nice state.
EV Semis are not coming to do the majority of trucking, its like carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
In reality, there are engines capable of real work, using other fuels. Interestingly enough, there was an E85 engine that was 45% Thermally Efficient, Meaning it is better than the 44% of modern diesels. Unfortunately, the fuel is nearly half as energy dense, so the fuel consumption is almost double.
Again the lack of common sense, ethanol doesn't save anything or is any less polluting if you figure what is involved in growing grain and processing it. Diesel with current emissions are just a clean.
There is a movement towards CNG in Canada.
No more diesel locomotives either.
California passes 1st-in-nation emission rules for trains
Still has be approved by the EPA. I'm sure it will get rubber stamped though.
How many solar panels does it take to get a 10K ton train over the Sierra Nevada mountains?

Whats even more irritating is that a company just designed and tested a new diesel engine that meets or exceeds California emissions requirements but nobody seems interested. All California wants is only battery powered vehicles.
The way they're going, there probably won't be any people in California before that.
