- Pennsylvania regulators are forcing truck drivers to buy trucks outside Pennsylvania.
The crazy part: they didn’t even make the rules; they were made by California.

“We have no say, we can’t do anything about it,” says Brian Wanner the owner of Peter Brothers Trucking, “I don’t want to be anything like California.”
But that’s too bad, because Pennsylvania’s Environmental Quality Board decided to automatically copy rules from California.
The newest rules will raise the cost of new trucks by more than $50,000.
The regulators say these rules are important to stop pollution.
That’s dumb, says Wanner, “In 1980, 1 truck produced as much as 60 trucks today.”
“So, we want people to buy new trucks,” I ask?
“You want people to buy new trucks,” responds Wanner. “But if you put these costs on us that we cannot afford, we're going to just run the older trucks.”
That’s something the regulators don’t think about.
In fact, there’s a lot they don’t think about. Their decision hurts truck sellers, won’t stop pollution, could be unconstitutional, and will only get more expensive when California mandates "all electric."
All that and more in the video above.
Pennsylvanians are getting exactly what they voted for. If they don't like California style government, quit voting for California style politicians
The opening salvo: ‘We had no say. We can’t do anything about it!’
Uh I’m sorry but WUT? Yes. Yes you did. You just chose to either vote for these morons with little/no regard for their values/beliefs, or you voted for the other guy but you’re just going to sit here throwing your arms in the air like you just don’t care. Or maybe you didn’t vote.
Either way this road bends, you absolutely did have a say, you absolutely did have a choice.
It’s really not Pa but Philadelphia
Or stroke victims
What isn't everybody just go on strike and quit voting for everybody!
@@JumpCutThis If you think our crooked 2 party system that George Washington warned us against offers us voters any MEANINGFUL choice, you're 10/10 stupid.
Regulations instituted without input from the governed is literally why we rebelled against England.
No taxation without representation.
Were you not allowed to vote?
Or are you just really stupid.
Regulations without a plan in place to fix the issue they're creating is a reason to stop voting for the same people over and over.
It's long overdue for our overreaching government to he put in check.
!!! THIS IS SOCIALISM !!!
The concept is meritorious.
However rebelling against England is a general narrative often repeated far from being entirly wholesome true.
Anyway, what was going on in late 1700s English colonies has vastly been surpassed by USA, along with most of rest of "FREE" western civilisation countries.
And continues in plethora ways and means.
Take it from someone who is trying to survive in California; you don't want to be like California. It is absolutely a testing ground for WEF crimes against humanity.
Move down south, you’ll be welcome here 😊 Just don’t bring the California politics with you
Huge respect to John Stossel for pointing out government waste, fraud, and stupidity all these years.
I was told as a kid that either a flood or earthquake would take out California. Any day now would be great.
No the entire state will burn down. The summer wildfires have gotten really bad in recent years which isn't suprising when you consider that the typical summer is 100 degrees with very little to no rain.
sun has a lot of dammage on brains...i see
As a born and raised Californian i second that vote
No flood or earthquake could do as much damage as the politicians in CA have, along with the mindless voter's who keep them in office.
Think about the ocean pollution though
I left the communist republic of California in 1992 and I sold my trucking company eight years ago I saw the writing on the wall more rules more regulations every day made up by a bunch of people who have never been in a truck, and know nothing about the industry
Insane that any state would follow California policies for ANYTHING!! This is why people need to pay attention to who you are voting for.
That’s why I don’t vote they will say anything to get votes
you cant vote your way out of tyranny
Ignorance is bliss.
This is just maddening. Keep getting the word out as to the truth about electric vehicles. We need to stand up to these bureaucrats and put a stop to this nonsense.
Pennsylvania voted for John Fetterman. Nuff Said.
In their defense, there is no way in Hell I would have voted for the alternative: Oz
@@The_Ballohe would at least be lucid
There is nothing you can do to defend Fetterman a being a better candidate than Oz. Oz was by no means perfect, but on his worst day he would be a better representative of the state than Fetterman on his best day @@The_Ballo
And that's why primary elections are MORE important than the general.. but they get very little attention or participation. @@The_Ballo
I'm from PA, I didn't vote for any of this, nor did many of people I know. The "elected" officials are as legitimate in Pennsylvania as Pedo Biden
How any state could actually want to follow California, New York or Illinois is beyond me.
All seem to be democrat oriented and usually end up at the bottom of the freedom states rankings. But Pennsylvania was the location where the Constitution was signed in 1787...
To emulate California’s economic growth?
@@williammeek4078 You mean rapid deterioration of businesses that ultimately close down or run away to other states?
😒👉 Never underestimate the dumbing-down of society ...
@@jamescalifornia2964 ya. Just look at who keeps cutting education funding.
It doesn't slow down pollution in the slightest. It just makes trucks unaffordable to new drivers and owner operators, and companies like Swift and Heartland are unaffected.
Well if know one can a fford a truck then there will be less on the road in a couple of deacades
It's never a bad thing when government policies help to create monopolies, amiright?
Yes. That's what bureaucrats want. Since there are hardly anyone to agree on just about anything.
Because the majority of the people in that state expect *politicians* to be there for them..
Well..... that's what happened when England had taxed the colonists to death,just because England's government wanted control.
Power. For THEIR own interests. Prestige. To make THEM look good,on the outside.
Not for the taxpayers that PAID them -
DISGUSTING !! WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO AMERICANS!
Took the exhaust off my car. 😂
It just makes me feel a little better.
As a Californian , I don't blame you for your hate. But PA is less than zero.
It’s essentially taxation without representation. Those fools.
Tea party!
Ummm, BS. Do you even know what those words mean? The decision to adopt California's was made by their elected representatives. You know, like the House of REPRESENTATIVES. That name isn't just a random word, it actually has meaning, that's is their REPRESENTATION, the REPRESENTATIVES that they elected to REPRESENT them. (notice how that word keeps coming up?) Now, if they are unhappy with the decisions their REPRESENTATIVES are making, they should elect different REPRESENTATIVES, but the idea that there is no representation is, we;ll kinda stoooopid.
@@andrewalexander9492you're stupid if you think any of those people actually represent anyone who "elected" them.
@@andrewalexander9492You’re assuming those officials were elected by voters when they are actually elected by donors.
@@remoevans7847 Whatever defects there may be in our process of election (and I'm not denying there are defects), ther *is* a process, and there *is* representation. The Phrase "taxation with no representation" comes from the US revolutionary war, and the colonists had, literally, no form of representation in the body which made their laws. Not the same thing.
Everything in your life has been touched by diesel, everything you own has at one point been transported by a truck, everything.
Or a train and e trains used to be deise or desiesle electric
how can that even be a law to automatically adopt California laws on commissions if no one even votes on the new law even being proposed? How is that even allowed or legal?
Alignment with California in any way is insanity!

Thank you, John. As a trucker this is doing nothing but hurting our carriers. The cost of new trucks will trickle down on the common driver by lowering the pay per hour to make up for the cost of the trucks on the company itself. 😢
Let’s just increase the taxes of the folks that voted these people in

If electric was better the government wouldn’t have to force people to use it
Ironically at the expense of taxpayers who have zero say where there money goes.
They don’t. It is just politicians jumping on the bandwagon so they can pretend they helped make it happen.
teh bly way electric would be better tahn fossile fuels is if it wen't nuclear. Then it would be emmissionsf free and plentifiul.. Iwant a Nuclear power plant in my area. Its the only viable alterantive to fossible fuel.
@@0011peace weird as i already power my house and cars off of off-grid solar. Granted, i live in a fairly sunny place, but if one person can do it, it only gets easier with scale.

It has been a tough few months, filled with hardships and struggles globally. From economic challenges, job losses, market volatility, conflicts in various regions, and financial difficulties, it feels like everything has been going wrong. How can I make ends meet during these tough times?
It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist in NY. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won't simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.
I couldn't agree more. Taking charge of your life and putting in the hard work is the path to success. Having a portfolio manager like Mr. Samuel Peter Descovich is a game-changer. Their expertise and guidance can truly transform your financial journey. Making $35,000 in profits each month and saving 70% of that is quite impressive!They save you time and provide valuable insights that lead to impressive profits. Keep up the amazing work, and enjoy the fruits of your labor..
Thank you so much for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. he appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.
Samuel Peter Descovich is the go-to financial advisor during market turmoil. With his expertise, I made over $220K, revealing hidden market opportunities. Having an investment counselor is crucial, especially for those nearing retirement.
Found his website easily. It was like the first thing that came up when I searched his name. I'll surely touch basis with him to see what the best step is for me to take right now. THANK YOU!!!

These issues are exactly why the electoral college exists. It keeps the few highly populated cities dictating the governance of the entire country when those cities do not understand or reject the lives and needs of everyone else.
Should it matter anymore since we have a global environment and can travel anywhere in the country within hours and communicate with anyone that we want?
@@ShawnPatton-rm2hvyes because I don't catch wild lobsters in Arizona and you likely don't share a border with Mexico.
@@scottleggejr but we know that other coastal areas could impact lobster populations and I bet that restaurants in Arizona serve lobster to customers. I doubt that it was uncommon for lobsters to be shipped to Arizona until post WWII. New York does indeed have tens of thousands of immigrants from our southern border.

Louisiana just overwhelmingly voted for a Republican Governor. Its a matter of time PA follows the same rout. People are sick and tired of this far left progressive policies.

"They're smarter than the law makers." That's an incredibly low bar. Like incredibly low.
As a 15 year truck driver... these new rules are absolutely ridiculous. Keep up the good work, John!!!
Why are these politicians allowed to make all these decisions without input from the people? Because we let them, plain and simple.
Or they simply vote in people like the new Senator. Who are yes men and unqualified.
Hello Goodnight
It seems to be unelected bureaucrats making a lot of decisions about our lives.
They're not politicians, they're unelected bureaucrats that aren't che ked by the politicians. Just look at the atf and BS they're able to get away with, same thing.
Because they know people aren't goin to do anything about it.
So Pennsylvania basically has a "if California jumps off the bridge so do we" law.
Brilliant
They're doing great how's San Fran & LA looking these days. 😆 sad but, degradation to Somalia looking downtowns. Nice 👍. Philly & NYC are doing great also. Keep up with the dumb 💩
Their voters don't want to change between a rock and a hard place. But no one competent is willing or able to run for office anyway.
If your choices are consistently between "bad" and "worse," guess which direction you end up heading?
Politicians think they can wave a magic wand and it will just happen. All in the name of looking like a climate hero. Never bothering to address the feasibility or costs.
Politicians and bureaucrats never face consequences of their acts. They don’t give a crap about the citizens.
The ignorance of government employees never ceases to amaze me. It's second only to the ignorance of many voters.
More regulations and these people are guaranteed job security.
You mean progressive radicals
They're getting paid to do it. It's not ignorance and never has been. They have deals, investments and bribes to do this.
It takes a specific set of talents and skills and motivations to get up there.
The climate issue has been deemed an emergency, therefore they can justify knee jerk reactions. Which are always failing ideas. Expect more.
Everything is already so much more expensive in California. Now you're going to pay $25 for a hamburger in $18 for fries because it cost so much to run the supplies to the stores.

At this point, we need to say, "I'm not doing that!" to the government just making unnecessary and costly rules.
Yeah, but if you live in a red state, you're median household income will be 12,000$ per year less than blue states. Also, you'll live 3-4 years shorter life, you're less likely to have health insurance, more likely to be obese, and you're 34% more likely to be murdered. From memory, 15/15 worst states for adult obesity are all red states.

This will continue to happen as long as people keep voting in activists.
Vote frauded in you mean
The reason why people vote for these activists is because they're getting something from them. What these people don't realize when you get something for free they want something from you and that is your freedom. The activist/ state legislature are now gaining to much control. They think their ideas are working for the population but they're not.
Activists will keep being voted in so long as there is a monopoly on education via a school mandate and a requirement to send your child to a school where you live. Those two monopolies alone have created a norm for Progressive Socialist schools that see it as their duty to override parents and teach political activism in literally all subject matter from history to reading and mathematics. If you have a kid and you send that kid to a school, more likely than not you have a huge up hill battle to not have that kid coming out a political activist drone for the Progressive Socialists.
Every progressive is a radical
Bureaucrats dont get elected, lol.
I was a trucker with all these regulations. Soon, there will be nothing to supply stores, etc. Then there will be mass chaos!!!
I live in MN and our government has set the same "Follow California" policy. They recently mandated all auto sellers in the state stock electric vehicles regardless of demand. Just a random mandate to keep 14,000 EV's on hand at all times. The dealers took them to court and lost. The SCOTUS declined to review the appeal so now the state government gets to force them to sell an item based on morality and not demand.
How lazy do you have to be to put a rule that automatically changes your states rules to another state. They don't want to do any work at all
It’s almost as if they don’t need the bureaucrats anymore… no more bureaucracy. Now there’s a happy thought.
California may as well be a foreign country at this point- one that I'll no longer do business in.
Thank you John for speaking the truth!!!!!!!! 👍🌎
"A lot of this green agenda is being pushed because someone somewhere is making a lot of money from it.

That is absolutely insane! 😠
They're just trading one problem for another one and charging through the nose for it.
And we won’t be able to charge the “solution” they create - not enough electricity supply available to charge all those EVs.
Man, copy-pasting regulations is the reason nobody has any faith in the system anymore. The biggest disservice you could make is to not even think.
They aren’t even copying and pasting - because if they did that then the regulations would be frozen until the next copy paste changes are put in. They just use regulation by reference - and as the reference is changed, so do they.
It's unbelievably lazy. I bet they just didn't feel like writing any laws that day and just headed straight to the bar.
It's also illegal. Only California can do this because California's CARB predates the EPA regulations. In all other states, the EPA preempts and prevents these regulations (at least until the EPA decides to do the same thing). This is insanity. This is an attack on the energy infrastructure that underpins all of modern civilization. It is not the first time that bad government and bad industrial policy nearly collapsed civilization and killed tens of millions of pelple. China did it during the Great Leap Forward and 40 milluon people died. This banning of the internal combustion enrgine MUST be resisted.
They need to make themselves feel important and justify their pay.
Thank you for covering this!

@@allblooz 😱 “Nooooo!”
What people need to understand is that an electric vehicle powered by a natural gas power plant is much, much more efficient than a gas car. Gas cars are ~25% efficient while a natural gas plant can be over 60%. Yes you're still burning fuel, but you're doing it with 3x the efficiency.
The trucking company I work for considered purchasing electric trucks. We run dedicated loads for various retailers around the country. As such, we have a lot of loads which fall under the advetised 500 mile limit for batteries. However, we also run two shifts of drivers. There's not enough hours in the day for us to charge trucks and run them long enough to pay for them. The idea of buying electric was quickly scrapped.
They would need charging at the loading docks or swappable batteries for it to work.
As a Pennsylvania resident, I thank you for exposing this nonsense. This stuff gets buried such that taxpayers don’t notice it - and then we get stuck with such nonsense.
BTW - Pennsylvania building codes are also an adaptation, but of international codes rather than using those from California.
The real nonsense here is that the pollution exists. Saying electric trucks cause more pollution because of coal burning electric plants is just kicking the can down the road. We all need to progress and electric trucks are progress. Moving from coal to NG is progress. Moving from NG to renewables is progress. Infrastructure NEVER has an instantaneous solution. It's always a slow creep to the finish line and we will get there.
@vipahman yeah more lithium batteries is progress 😂
I'll give you that coal and gasoline may be AS dirty as each other but until we can run on natural gas, nuclear or something else we haven't figured out yet, switching to something that won't make a dent is stupid.
and btw China and India make around 75 to 85 percent of all emissions we are around 5 percent. Maybe trying talking to them?
There is no climate change they need to get off of that.
This is ultimately the consequences of who you vote for.
If you voted democrat, you likely voted for the politicians who OK this kind of behavior.
Elections DO have consequences.
unless trh ultimate goal is to get people to starve because not enough trucks, seriously these bearucats are messing with industry and people's lives.
A friend of mine sold trucks in NJ. He was telling me that years ago, NJ decided that they were losing money from not charging sales tax on trucks. When they started charging sales tax, every one just drove 10 to 50 miles to PA and bought trucks for 6% less. NJ truck sales went to zero and he was almost out of business. NJ saw zero extra tax income.
But trucks pollute our air, they damage our roads, also the truck drivers like throwing their piss bottles outside on the ground when they can just use the bathroom like everyone else.
@@Punisher1830 All of which has nothing to do with how or where trucks are bought or sold. You could have the government ban trucks, but then you would have to complain to the same government that you can't buy the necessities of life. There are plenty of examples of how many millions of people die when socialist or communist governments destroy the free market system.
@@Punisher1830 By the way, I don't disagree about the piss bottles. Gross!
Trucks are a necessity since all the goods and services have to get *somewhere.* We don't have more oil pipelines, we cry foul at air freight due to pollution, and freight trains are run by a few companies that have to pay to upkeep their own rail lines (deincentivizing them from building more).
So, more trucks it is.

I live in Texas, and our electric board is not in Texas. We have got to stop allowing other states to dictate to everyone else, not in their state. Every State has different needs and wants.
I live in Missouri I have heard that we provide electricity for Texas. There is a wind farm above 20 miles from me that all the electricity goes to Texas
This is quite common due to how electric power grids are interconnected to give them some robustness when some disaster strikes in one area - power can be delivered from the capacity based in other areas. And this is usually only quasi-governmental - the power utilities band together, so unless a power utility is government operated there isn’t much government regulation involved (all utility companies are regulated under the public utility commission or similar government body).
It depends on where in Texas you live. Most of Texas is on it's own power grid. Remember the big winter storm a few years ago that saw Texas's grid fail?

Any government that wants to use California as a model should take a look at what’s going on there.
It'd be one thing if California has proven this was at least a workable idea, never mind a good one. But as mentioned, they can't even keep their CURRENT amount of EV's charged, what is the grand plan for when that load increases exponentially?
"Just don't drive, peasant."
That's intended. The less you are able to drive, the fewer the emissions. They want everyone to use public transportation or bikes.

Politics driving the market does not look like a good idea, the government choosing for the free consumer sounds like a distortion of the markets.
Bingo
Government distorts every market that it gets involved in. We won't get real, lasting, organic change until we scale back the level of subsidies and government intervention in markets. That applies to health care, education and energy.
"I am from the government and i'm here to help." 🥴
As someone who works in the industry, I've seen what happens when government is involved.
The emission standards of semi trucks was changed in 2002, 2007, 2010, 2014 and 2017.
The end result, trucks became more expensive and companies ran older trucks.
and older trucks probably put out more pollutants. LOL.
And stagnating innovation. Meanwhile, the market if left alone would have encouraged more efficient vehicles since owners would prefer those models for their businesses.
Love you since I was a kid in the 80’s
Government protecting big businesses 😢
Most regulations protect big business. Why else do you think big corporations lobby for more regulations in their industry?
Ive often heard people complain that more efficient vehicles won't get rid of cars and will just continue car ownership in America. I wouldn't assume that pricing the trucks so that independent drivers cant afford them is an accident of the legislation.
Tesla Semi is roughly $260k. If driven 100,000 miles a year (only 275 miles a day on average) it would cover the difference in the first year.
In the second, the owner would have saved enough on fuel costs to pay off the entire loan.
🤡🤡🤡
you say that but the time wasted charging their truck, the low mileage that prevents them from doing lucrative long haul contracts that pay the bills, the increased electricity costs that would come come so many electric cars and not enough supply. Look at California, they can't even provide enough electricity to charge the electric cars they have!!@@williammeek4078
@@williammeek4078trucks can't make ANY money only driving 275 miles a day numbnutt lol wow
@@williammeek4078 Shall we talk about the cost to mine materials for batterys?
Remove overburden, drill, blast, shovel material in trucks, haul to a crusher, then haul material to a mill for procesing.
And you think that Tesla is a "green thing"?
I'm so glad I left PA many years ago. This stupidity has metastasized and is now nearly impossible to expel. The corruption is thorough from local levels right through to the top. Thanks for the show John.
I moved back to Ohio a little over two years ago. Best thing I have done!!!!
It's the same nonsense here in California
@@autumnsun7379 I'm thinking of doing the same thing...

@@bills5009I’ve looked and there is no where else to go. Pa really is the low key best option. Our republicans hold the progressives at bay for most nonsense. If they didn’t win the governor spot all the time they would have nothing.
It's baffling that states always go for the stupid unattainable goals instead of the straightforward and effective low-hanging fruit like removing parking minimums, allowing traditional urban development again, and implementing street designs that make walking and cycling for short trips in and around the neighborhood more safe comfortable.
Clearly, it's the money that speaks here, car manufacturers and dealers like it when people are forced to buy their more expensive models and homeowners want the government to protect their property values at all costs until the end of time.

She says putting public health second to the economy is over. If you can't afford to eat then I'm pretty sure your health is gonna take a really steep nosedive.
It's about time that legislators take an I.Q. test before running for office.
I have always maintained that my fifth grade class knew more about the U.S. Constitution than 85% of the Demorat party. And yes, no person should be allowed to run for any federal, state or local government office with passing a written test on the various Constitutions affecting the position they are seeking. It is truly a disgusting spectacle to see these ignorant people making laws that affect all of us. Disgusting.
It is time our Govt was brought back down to size. It has no business pushing this cult of climate change. If the climate were in an actual crisis we could all see it. That ONLY the Marxists can see it and the only solution is more Marxism is the TELL...
I would love to see the results of Trump's IQ test. That guy is not bright.
I think that solution is more a matter of voters taking an IQ test. Plus, if you haven't been employed in the past 3yrs or get back more in EITC than you pay in taxes, you cannot vote.
@@user-et3pz5iw7tnor are you.
It’s happening in Texas as we speak and we need to wake up!
What?? I'm from Pa, and I never heard of that law, going to contact my congressmen tomorrow.
As the old saying goes.." you get what you vote for".. hell look who Pennsylvania put in the senate
Regarding electric production I want to see one state one municipality be entirely on renewables and let's see how that goes
Yes because the world flipped a switch one day, and went from lighting the house with gas / oil to electric.....
Shit doesn't happen over night, you have to start someplace and work and build on it.
You do understand, a time will come that your children's children wont have any more gas / oil to burn right?
Or will you just leave a time capsule for them, with a note that says "sucks to be you LOL". Literal can kicker.
@@spencers4121 lol do you remember they said we would run out in 10 years back in the 60's? Now we pay More taxes and still have oil
@@spencers4121 we've spent billions on "cheap" renewables and I can't see any benefits the trash from those turbines aren't recyclable
All I'm asking for is if it's so great and doable let's actually make a town municipality state province entirely run on renewables and let's see how that goes
That way we done screw up the entire electrical grid for the country just one place that votes for it
I notice there is still ice in the Arctic and Antarctic storms aren't getting worse polar bears are fine they aren't actually counting the Empire penguin breeding sites as they're inaccessible the thwaits ice shelf is still attached and I think our energy would be better spent building infrastructure to weather flooding droughts and replacing lead pipes because after we poison ourselves everything after us gets a dose of that lead too
I used to live in Burlington, VT, which claims to be run entirely on renewables. It works quite well. But it's important to note that it uses hydro power to balance the grid when solar and wind fluctuate, which is not possible for the rest of the United States. So what works for them can't really work for everybody else.

Poor Pennsylvania. (If I were a citizen of the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I'd be pissed.)
