Not exactly the format I would want, but discusses the fact that EV tax credits are very expensive in $/ton, and their benefit tends to erode as ICE efficiency standards tighten. Economy-wide measures like gas tax and road tolls do more and cost a lot less.
Assessing California’s Climate Policies—Transportation
Chapter 135 of 2017 (AB 398, E. Garcia) requires our office to annually report on the economic impacts and benefits of California’s statutory greenhouse gas (GHG) emission goals—statewide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. This report provides our assessment of the effects, of major policies in the transportation sector intended to help meet these goals, as well as identifies some key issues for the Legislature to consider as it makes future policy and budget decisions. In a companion report, Assessing California’s Climate Policies—An Overview, we describe the general types of economic effects of state climate policies, key challenges in measuring these effects, and broad issues for the Legislature to consider when designing and evaluating its climate policies.

I’d also be curious about such a ranking.

Why do you think they are bad policy?

I was confused by the line saying that someone sought “a tax abatement from the court” … how does that connect to LPC?

On the other hand, once they’re here, many students embody the best of sustainable transportation, using their own and shared bikes and scooters.

Getting all their stuff into the dorms is definitely a challenge!

The final list of exact service changes was known October 9, *2024*? (10 months ago?)

Sigh. I had liked how Perplexity attributes sources, giving creators credit. This is disappointing.

Haha! That’s exactly why government data *can* be so helpful! Which database did you use? Link?

Fascinating! Thank you for posting!

What’s the site where you see that data visualized?

I’ve never done a revolving sushi of any sort! Clearly, I’ve missed out!

Haha. Ippudo was the last place I remember with the crazy lines. I thought, (using grouchy old man voice) “for ramen?!?!”
February 15, 2025 at 9:01 PM
Is it the quality of the sushi, the variety or something else?
