California bans sale of diesel big rig trucks starting in 2036 in landmark air pollution rule

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:08:15 GMT

California air regulators on Friday approved first-in-the-nation rules to ban the sale of new diesel big rig trucks statewide by 2036.The rules approved unanimously by the California Air Resources Board also require companies in California with more than 50 trucks to convert their truck fleets to zero-emission vehicles by 2042.The historic vote to require new trucks to run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells — sending diesel the way of leaded gasoline — is the latest step in the slow, but steady phase-out of fossil fuels in California, designed to reduce smog and greenhouse gases that are causing climate change. Last year, the air board, most of whose 16 members are appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, voted to prohibit the sale of new gasoline-burning passenger vehicles in California in 2035.“This is an absolutely transformative rule to clean our air and mitigate climate change,” said Liane Randolph, chair of the board.Industry groups opposed the rules and said...

Will an S.F.-style fentanyl crackdown happen in San Jose?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:08:15 GMT

With the fentanyl crisis reaching epidemic proportions, a renewed push in the Bay Area seeks to stem the steady supply of a deadly drug that has wreaked havoc across the country.On Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom officially tasked a cadre of California National Guard and California Highway Patrol officials to fight the rampant rise of fentanyl in San Francisco. Now, leaders from Northern California’s largest city say they, too, would welcome state help.“The enforcement side is incredibly important,” San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said in an interview. “We are really understaffed. So do we need more help there? Yes.”In San Jose, 96 accidental overdose deaths were attributed to fentanyl in 2022, according to data from the Santa Clara County Coroner dashboard. San Francisco had 620 accidental fatal fentanyl overdoses, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner — 85% more deaths than San Jose, which has about 200,000 more residents.At the same time, M...

Tucker Carlson: How early rejection by hippie San Francisco mom made him shameless

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:08:15 GMT

Before Tucker Carlson’s shocking ouster from Fox News Monday, observers sometimes said he owed his massive success on the network and in America’s extreme right-wing circles to his unique ability to be shamelessly provocative.A 2022 New York Times profile of Carlson described his on-air technique as  “gleefully courting blowback” for touting racist, white nationalist views or for being one of the “most visible and voluble defenders of those who violently stormed the U.S. Capitol to keep Donald Trump in office.” The more Carlson doubled-down at Fox, the more his millions of nightly viewers embraced him as an “aggrieved” partner in their perceived “victimhood,” the Times said.In interviews over the past few years, Carlson has suggested that he developed his extremely thick skin for cable news success because of his mother — or rather, because of the terrible thing his mother, former San Francisco socialite-turned-artist Lisa McNear Lombardi, did to him as a 6-year-old.“I b...
