'Kudlow' host Larry Kudlow blasts Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposed plan to punish big oil over 'price gouging' claims on 'America Reports.', blasting him for cracking down on diesel-powered trucks.

"In September 2022, California’s electric grid was stressed, and consumers were asked to reduce energy use to avoid rolling blackouts," they continued in the letter."During this time, the California Independent System Operator said that the state’s grid hit a new all-time record of 52,061 megawatts.

The letter came a week after Newsom announced the federal government had granted a waiver approving stateUnder the standards, truck manufacturers will be required to rapidly accelerate sales of zero emission heavy-duty vehicles. By 2035, 75% of new bus and large truck sales, 55% of new small truck sales and 40% of new tractor-trailer sales in California must be electric. By 2045, all new heavy truck sales must be electric under an executive order Newsom signed in 2020.
