California Energy Commission making you buy specific tires - August 21st
Today on The John McGinness Show the California Energy Commission is moving forward with rules that would require Californians to buy certain tires based on rolling resistance standards to improve battery range and fuel efficiency, with phase one beginning in 2029 and phase two in 2033. Critics argue the regulations could hurt mom-and-pop tire shops, drive consumers to buy tires out of state, and potentially create a black market for non-compliant tires. Many believe consumers should have the freedom to purchase whatever tires they want without government mandates. The show also discusses the Truth in Disclosure Act, which would require major corporations with more than $100 million in annual receipts to disclose any historical or financial ties to chattel slavery, examines California's historical connections to forced labor, and takes callers' reactions.
