Rough Transcript: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many California cities are understaffed and unprepared to mobilize climate funds: report from the University of California, Berkeley\u2019s Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment,<\/a> \u2013 \u201cThe desire to advance climate action and sustainability goals is there, but the capacity and resources are not,\u201d Erica Manuel, CEO and executive director of the Institute for Local Government, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report: California needs more staff to \u201ccapitalize on historic influx of federal climate cash\u201d \u2013 University of California, Berkeley\u2019s Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment report:<\/a> \u201cMany California cities need additional staffing and planning to capitalize on historic influx of federal climate cash. Even local governments with detailed blueprints for slashing greenhouse emissions often lack the dedicated resources needed to realize ambitious climate pledges.\u201d \u2026 \u201cCalifornia is at a critical point in its efforts to decarbonize the economy. In 2022, Governor Newsom signed AB 1279<\/a>, enshrining the state\u2019s carbon neutrality target into law. Meeting this goal will require planning and coordination across all levels of government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Executive editor of Climate Depot Marc Morano:<\/strong> \u201cThey need more money because they don\u2019t have enough people to spend the money. This is the actual report from Berkeley Center for Law and Environment, it actually calls it \u2018federal climate cash\u2019<\/a> \u2014 like get your hands on \u2018climate cash\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is like reminded me of the TV show Breaking Bad. There was a scene when the drug dealer finally has so much money<\/a> in his storage shed, that he literally can\u2019t spend it, and he doesn\u2019t know what to do with it. It\u2019s just piles of cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scene from Breaking Bad TV show \u2013 Season 5 \u2013 \u2018How Much is Enough?\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morano<\/strong>: We\u2019ve reached peak insanity now in the United States with the climate agenda led by California. This federal climate cash sitting in the state with nowhere to go<\/a>, no one to spend it, and here\u2019s the thing as weird as it is, this is a good thing, right? Because the last thing you want to do is spend the money because they\u2019ve already said they\u2019re going look for ways to reduce emissions to meet the governor\u2019s \u2018climate neutrality\u2019 Net Zero rule. And if they do that, it\u2019s going to make Californians\u2019s even poorer and pay for more expensive energy. So this is a good development, you don\u2019t want them to spend it. Let the money pile up just like in the TV show with nowhere to be spent because spending it impoverishes Californians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dagen<\/strong>: \u201cI want my money back..\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morano<\/strong>: California will find a way to spend it, spend it on reelection, buying votes. This is like something out of a university\u2019s Soviet climate studies. They\u2019re looking at all this money going into central planning, so decisions can be made by fewer and fewer people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, Berkeley also has a California-China Climate Institute of Climate Corps.<\/a> The Climate Corps, China is involved in this as well, I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll find a way to funnel money to China. This is just peak California madness. When you look at this story from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morano on Google electric bus crash: <\/strong>\u201cIts failure on a grand scale. Evs are already failing. EV mandates \u2014  all the CEOs of automakers don\u2019t want them. But Google decided to double down on this giant EV bus and somehow nine vehicles were involved, smashed up because of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to their website, there are six hydraulic disc brakes. Here\u2019s the question. If the battery fails, do the brakes fail? There\u2019s going to have to be an investigation here. But what a disaster! There have been protests against these buses going back a decade. A lot of the local residents in San Francisco don\u2019t like the gentrification. They don\u2019t like all the money being spent on these buses and not on all the other community needs that they need for affordable housing and other things. So the buses aren\u2019t very popular on the street level. And this isn\u2019t going to help when they\u2019re smashing up nine cars and endangering human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host<\/strong>: I bet you it was made in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morano:<\/strong> All the materials certainly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host<\/strong>: Marc Morano. thank you so much. Great to see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
