Report: California needs more staff to “capitalize on the historic influx of federal climate cash” – University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment report:

Morano: “They need more money because they don’t have enough people to spend the money. This is the actual report from Berkeley Center for Law and Environment; it actually calls it ‘federal climate cash’ — like get your hands on ‘climate cash’.
This reminded me of the TV show Breaking Bad. There was a scene when the drug dealer finally has so much money in his storage shed that he literally can’t spend it, and he doesn’t know what to do with it. It’s just piles of cash.

Scene from Breaking Bad TV show – Season 5 – ‘How Much is Enough?’
Morano: “We’ve reached peak insanity now in the United States with the climate agenda led by California. This federal climate cash is sitting in the state with nowhere to go, no one to spend it, and here’s 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’ve already said they’re going look for ways to reduce emissions to meet the governor’s ‘climate neutrality’ Net Zero rule. And if they do that, it’s going to make Californians even poorer and pay for more expensive energy. So this is a good development, you don’t 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.”
Rough Transcript: 

Many California cities are understaffed and unprepared to mobilize climate funds: report from the University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment, – “The desire to advance climate action and sustainability goals is there, but the capacity and resources are not,” Erica Manuel, CEO and executive director of the Institute for Local Government, said in a statement.

Report: California needs more staff to “capitalize on historic influx of federal climate cash” – University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment report: “Many 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.” … “California is at a critical point in its efforts to decarbonize the economy. In 2022, Governor Newsom signed AB 1279, enshrining the state’s carbon neutrality target into law. Meeting this goal will require planning and coordination across all levels of government.”

Executive editor of Climate Depot Marc Morano: “They need more money because they don’t have enough people to spend the money. This is the actual report from Berkeley Center for Law and Environment; it actually calls it ‘federal climate cash’ — like get your hands on ‘climate cash’.

This is like reminded me of the TV show Breaking Bad. There was a scene when the drug dealer finally has so much money in his storage shed that he literally can’t spend it, and he doesn’t know what to do with it. It’s just piles of cash.

Scene from Breaking Bad TV show – Season 5 – ‘How Much is Enough?’

Morano: We’ve 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, no one to spend it, and here’s 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’ve already said they’re going look for ways to reduce emissions to meet the governor’s ‘climate neutrality’ Net Zero rule. And if they do that, it’s going to make Californians even poorer and pay for more expensive energy. So this is a good development, you don’t 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.

Dagen: “I want my money back..”

Morano: California will find a way to spend it, spend it on reelection, buying votes. This is like something out of a university’s Soviet climate studies. They’re looking at all this money going into central planning, so decisions can be made by fewer and fewer people.

By the way, Berkeley also has a California-China Climate Institute of Climate Corps. The Climate Corps, China is involved in this as well, I’m sure they’ll find a way to funnel money to China. This is just peak California madness. When you look at this story from beginning to end.

Morano on Google electric bus crash: “Its failure on a grand scale. Evs are already failing. EV mandates —  all the CEOs of automakers don’t want them. But Google decided to double down on this giant EV bus, and somehow, nine vehicles were involved, smashed up because of this.

According to their website, there are six hydraulic disc brakes. Here’s the question. If the battery fails, do the brakes fail? There’s 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’t like the gentrification. They don’t 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’t very popular on the street level. And this isn’t going to help when they’re smashing up nine cars and endangering human life.

Host: I bet you it was made in China.

Morano: All the materials, certainly.

Host: Marc Morano. thank you so much. Great to see you.
