Zero-emissionvehiclesalesmandateiswrongchoice

ByStateRep.RichCollins R-41st

DNREChaspublishedCalifornia’s AdvancedCleanCarIIregulations—a milestoneinadoptingthecontroversial zero-emissionsvehiclesalesmandatein Delaware.

Theproposalseekstoimposeanescalatingminimumrequirementfornew zero-emissionvehiclesales(predominantlybattery-electricvehicles—EVs) whilemakingfewergasolineanddiesel vehiclesavailabletoconsumers.Therestrictionswouldbegininlate2025,and eventuallybanthesaleandregistration ofallnewfuel-poweredcars,trucksand

Astherankingmemberofthe HouseNaturalResources&Energy Committee,Iofferthefollowing thoughtsonwhythemandateisterrible publicpolicy:

•Whileelectricvehicles(EVs)do nothavetailpipes,theyuseelectricity fromplantsproducingemissionsand hazardouswaste.Thevastmajorityof EVsarechargedfromthepower grid.AccordingtotheU.S.EnergyInformationAdministration,morethan 60percentofthenation’selectricityis producedusingfossilfuels.Another18 percentisgeneratedbynuclearreactors producinghighlyradioactivewastefor

whichthenationhasnolong-termstoragesolutions.

•Gov.JohnCarney,whostartedthe EVsalesmandateregulationprocess, concedesthatDelawareansdonotproducemostofthestate’sairpollution. WritinginaJune2018opinioncolumn onemissionsfromout-of-state powerplants,thegovernorstatedthat “90percentofDelaware’sairpollution” comesfromoutsideourborders.

•DNRECmaintainsitmustforce theadoptionofEVsbecauseoftheimpactofDelaware’spollutiononthe downwindPhiladelphiaMetro Area.ButaccordingtoPhiladelphia’s AirQualityReport2021,thecity’san-

My favorite thing about working and building with Schell are the people. Not just because they're kind and funalthough that makes for a great work environment- but because the people who work for Schell are incredibly talented and hard working. It truly feels like a big team working towards a common goal even though we all have our di erent departments. We chose to build a Kingfisher and my favorite part of the home is the kitchen. It's been so fun to entertain and the storage space is incredible.

FRIDAY

The Great American Joke Off

(3) CW 9:30 p.m.

Celebrating wisecracks, one-liners and the simple art of telling a great joke, comedians Joe List, Luke Mones, Rebecca O’Neal, Rhys James, Glenn Moore and Josh Johnson are put through their paces by telling as many quick gags as possible on various categories. They must blend different subjects together to create hilarious puns, coming up with riotous set-ups to different punchlines in the new episode “Killer Bees, Jennifer Ani-stan & Casablanc-aargh.”

Dulcé Sloan hosts.

The Articulate Hour

(12) WCPB 9:35 p.m.

In the premiere episode of this deep-dive documentary series, artists, scholars and creative thinkers join to discuss a matter very close to home: human recall. Together, they discuss the importance of memory, and how it fuels our creative passions.

SATURDAY

149th Kentucky Derby

(11) WBAL 2:30 p.m.

The “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” returns with the 149th annual Kentucky Derby, airing live from Churchill Downs. Preceded by a prerace show, coverage of this year’s Run for the Roses will also highlight the 50th anniversary of Secretariat’s win.

Houses With History

(41) HGTV 8 p.m.

Mike, Jen, and Rich restore an 1800s Greek Revival home back to its former glory. Also, Rich takes on the task of repurposing a 1800s tin bathtub that Mike and Jen found dumped on the side of the road, and the team hopes to turn this trash into treasure.

SUNDAY

MLB Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres

(28) ESPN 7 p.m.

A clash of NL West rivals is on tap tonight at Petco Park, where Juan Soto and the San Diego Padres will close out a three-game home series against Max Muncy and the Los Angeles Dodgers. After a year of high-profile, high-salaried acquisitions, the Pods have struggled in the early going in 2023, with Soto and Manny Machado not performing up to their superstar standards. As for the Dodgers, they’re a team in transition with many new faces replacing familiar ones.
