@GovPressOffice@CAgovernor Flight critical components of the C130 and S70 series helicopters require repair and maintenance with chrome plating. Governor Newsom’s @AirResources appointees have banned chrome plating in California. This is despite wildfires causing more air toxicity than chrome plating.
The @AirResources ban on Hex-chrome plating in California INCREASES this risk because it prevents necessary maintenance and repair of certain CalFire aircraft parts. Risk to Californians from wildfire toxics exceeds the risk from plating by at least two magnitudes.
Californians, if you’re hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to AVOID Chevron.
Pro tip: unbranded gas comes from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines, and it meets the same state standards to keep your engine running clean, even if it doesn’t have a fancy name like ‘Techron.’
Big Oil is already making billions off Trump’s Iran War; don’t let them rip you off even more by overpaying for the brand name.
@latimes Perhaps a piece of the “newspaper” financial crisis is related to disconnected Op/Ed opinions based on narratives from reporters who rely on their favorite web sources for stories. People and businesses in LA county have problems the LA Times seems unaware of.
@CalEPASecretary Fair enforcement is also key. Banning compliant metal finishing firms who have implemented the best available control technologies destroys the credibility of the regulator and raises costs in California. See CARB chrome ATCM.
Today, #CALFIRE hosted a joint news conference at the Sonoma Air Attack Base, bringing together state, local, federal, and tribal partners to promote #WildfirePreparednessWeek.
@CALFIRE_CHIEF@CALFIRE_PIO@WadeCrowfoot Re that C130. Flight components require chrome plating for repair and maintenance. There is no technological alternative. Yet, CARB banned chrome plating. Repair capacity shrinks by appointee fiat while fire risk grows. Taxpayers fund fleet growth while CARB shrinks capacity.
Democrats and CARB have vested tremendous power in “community advocates”. However, in most cases, they are appointed and not elected. This will be interesting.
