They'll do anything other than actually address the predicament. Big, flashy, virtue signalling.

This may be a first. With a long history of absurd policies, phasing out diesel RVs seems like yet another California insanity. However if this (https://substack.com/home/post/p-152056040) is true, they may be doing the right thing for a completely wrong reason. As the linked article points out, our society is based on diesel fuel. Maybe Amazon is using electric trucks, but the long haul trucks that deliver just about everything everywhere need diesel. Again, if the article is right, some time next year it may cost more in terms of energy to produce a gallon of diesel than the energy that gallon provides. With a looming threat like that, curbing recreational use of diesel makes sense if the grocery stores are to continue stocking food.
