  • A lot of other states, about half the country by population, follow the California vehicle emissions rules.

  • Because they desperately need any kind of materiel they can get, and they're hoping not to be cut off

  • They don't care if there's an attack on US soil; the Trump Regime is already bombing Iran.

  • Before we had evidence that Tomahawks were used, it could plausibly have been Israel, which is also bombing Iran.

  • The bigger deal, which didn't make the headline of this article, is that making the switch is cheaper than putting up with a single fossil fuel price jump.

  • Just that they weren't deployed in a way that prevents a pilot who knows where the mines are from avoiding them. In the 1980s, tankers regularly transited despite a risk of mines.

  • Full disconnect is fairly unlikely. You really want the wind and geographical backstops to be reliable and cheap

  • Still makes a lot of sense to me that they'd try to deploy at least some mines; needing an Iranian pilot to get through the strait would provide one more advantage.

  • Land mines are still getting widely used in Ukraine despite there now being drones. Why is this any different?

  • It still makes a lot of sense for them; a set of mines which Iran knows the location of would be pretty dramatically to their advantage, just as it did in the 1980s.

  • Because:

    • It's cheap
    • It's effective
    • It's hard for the US to prevent
    • They haven't gotten takers on their safe-passage thing
  • It seems to all be anonymously sourced. Still, the kind of thing I'd be really surprised if Iran didn't do

  • Organize escorts for minorities so that people can vote

  • They don't have any real power. So its going to be on us to pull that off

  • Yeah, Trump behaves as if the national interest of the United States is not his top priority.
