Guy is a pandering dweeb with no actual policy convictions. It's embarrassing.

Wow, your post is so articulate and full of substance! How I wish someone like you was in charge...

I’m very pleased with his mostly moderate, cautious common sense approach to things. Keep bringing it!

Good for Youngkin.

As an aside, does WSJ not allow you to gift articles for free? I'm not a subscriber.

DP. Yes, here you go:

WTH is our Pentagon doing buying Chinese-made solar panels for the roof???????
Has Secretary Austin ever heard about the Trojan Horse?

I hadn't heard about this - good for him. Seems he's one of the few who actually sees the PRC for the danger it is.

Then you should pony up and pay for the journalists work.

I subscribe to the NYT and WaPo (and I do gift articles from them), I think that's enough. If the WSJ allows atricle gifting, I think it's common courtesy to do that if sharing a link. I suspect WSJ doesn't do that, however.

It does:

You are just a Maryland LWNJ who is jealous of our awesome governor Youngkin.

So hilariously transparent.

Strikes again? This is like one moderate thing he's done. A few weeks ago he was vetoing a bill to protect contraceptive access.

Also strikes again usually means something negative, FYI.

That will not happen. Either feds will preempt or a lawsuit will stop Cali. Electric cars as a real thing are 20-30 years away. They will be here but not anytime soon.

The third option is that California does what it did the last time it had a EV mandate in the 90s, they roll it back.

Actually EVs in their current form are near or at their zenith. By 2040 current gas stations will have half their pumps dispensing gas and the other half hydrogen, by 2050 it will be 75/25 hydrogen/gas and by 2060 all hydrogen. That my friends is the future.

Hydrogen is less efficient for energy storage than batteries. So this is unlikely.

It is a negative if you are on the left wing crazy train, which many on this forum are.

There's no such thing, really, as a left wing "crazy train."

It's the right wing that are batshit crazy. They hate America and its values. We saw that clearly on Jan. 6. Just the other day crazy Republicans in Washington state came out against democracy: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/the-wa-gop-put-it-in-writing-that-theyre-not-into-democracy/

I'll give Glenn Youngkin credit for trying to appear to be the voice of moderation for Republicans, what with the cute sweater vest and everything. He's your more typical robber baron Republican. But his policymaking has been a joke, from his stupid pandering about schools that people saw right through down to his mismanagement of our budgets and his poor decision making about our economy. Virginians saw through it right away and regretted voting for him, which is why Democrats control the legislature now.

None of this analysis is "crazy." It's actually pretty conventional and mainstream thinking.

Your relentless need to cheerlead your party's leaders, however... That's some crazy ass shit.

DP. Thanks for proving the point so clearly. You are indeed front and center on the LWNJ crazy train. And we’ve all been witness to your mess for the past few years. Do better.
