    Crap. Works for me. Maybe cause I have a regional IP address.


    Petaluma has become what officials said is the first city in the country to permanently ban the construction of new gas stations, a move intended to signal a faster transition to zero-emission vehicles ahead of California’s sweeping efforts to curtail climate change.

    The Petaluma City Council voted unanimously Monday to prohibit the creation, expansion, reconstruction and relocation of gas stations, encouraging owners to transition to stations that serve electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles. Petaluma hopes to become carbon neutral by 2030.


    “We need to do our part to help mitigate and adapt to our changing weather patterns that exist because of all the carbon we put in the atmosphere,” Councilwoman D’lynda Fischer, who spearheaded the initiative, said Tuesday.

    “I hope other cities will follow suit and if they have existing fossil fuel stations that satisfy the needs of their community, they too will decide that they don’t need any more.”

    Petaluma currently has 16 gas stations, with one more that’s expected to be built as part of a Safeway.

    The legislation has been in the works for years. It began as a a two-year moratorium on gas station construction after local residents complained about a plan to build a Safeway station across the street from an elementary school and daycare.


    Although the ban won’t affect the Safeway gas station, officials said it would prevent future developments from large retailers.

    “Companies like Safeway and Costco are putting very large fueling stations in front of their businesses with promotions of selling gas to get people to come and shop at their stores,” Fischer said. “This legislation eliminates that possibility for the future and keeps certified existing mom-and-pop gas stations in business.”

    In 2018, former Gov. Jerry Brown signed an executive order intended to get California carbon-neutral by 2045. Last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that the sale of new gas-powered vehicles would be banned starting in 2035.

    No development permit applications for a new gas station were filed during the moratorium period, city officials said. The resolution will become effective 30 days following the council’s approval.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure they still haven’t found a way to properly dispose of lithium batteries and solar panels. The last I read was they plan on shooting them into outer space and let them just float around up there. I’m serious, that’s their solution. How does that make any damn sense at all?!?

    This method defeats the purpose of what they are trying to do which is become more environmentally friendly. It's one thing to stop producing new ICE engines and just let the old ones fade away as they are crashed or otherwise stop working. But they are going to stop the use of perfectly good vehicles and force people to buy new cars. That is extremely wasteful and environmentally unfriendly.

    I bet the owners of the existing gas stations in Petaluma love this.

    If they stated that supporting the local mom and pop shops was their primary purpose and not a side benefit, I bet no one would even be talking about it.

    Simple! Just find a QUICK charging station. IF you can find one that is conveniently located where you’ll run out of juice, just plug it in! Then wait for an hour.

    I couldn't read this article so I don't know if it was said in it or not, but a different article I read said that they were also preventing the renovation or updates of current gas stations. The way it read was that they would not be able to replace their gas tanks or anything like that. I'm not sure how often they replace tanks or gas pumps, but the other article I read made it sound like they were going to be putting the current stations out of business over time as well.

    Anyone who thinks fossil fuel use will ever go away is naive. The only was that would’ve been aloud to happen is if Nikola would’ve been aloud to follow through on free, wireless power. Edison wasn’t having any of that shit though.

    I don't think they will ever go away at least anytime soon, but I do think their use can and should be greatly reduced.

    Gas stations will be obsolete. So those workers are now street workers picking up the streets. One door closes another opens

    Really "progressive" - this will create hardship and headache for the working class folks that can't afford a Tesla and the craftsmen that work in their town and need a truck.
