Understanding Bill S.2246​

Massachusetts Bill S.2246 is designed to address climate change by limiting the amount of driving individuals can do in their personal vehicles. The bill proposes a specific mileage cap, which if exceeded, could lead to penalties for drivers. The rationale behind this legislation is rooted in the need to reduce carbon emissions from one of the largest contributors to pollution: personal vehicles.


CA tried this as a "voluntary" program to self-report the annual mileage. It was a bust.

The obvious answer, then, is to make the program mandatory.

Own and drive a car where you can disconnect the odometer cable from the gearbox that doesn't throw up a tamper warning. Years ago that cable broke on my car, I only replaced it in the run up to it's MOT. I hadn't done many miles that year !!

Would 'The People', or The Politians vote for it?
I doubt even the liberal voter would want their politicians to vote for that.
Seems like it would be considered a power grab.

Then I guess they shouldn't elect those people, but they did and they mostly likely will again.
