Is there really a band on bacon in California or one that is proposed I've never heard of it before? Make sure your truck is an EV so you will be a Green smuggler.

Pigs and chickens have to be housed in spacious apartments or they can't be sold in California. Don't blame politicians for that one, the voters got together and passed an initiative. They are projecting a shortage of bacon, and substantial price rises for both pork and chicken products. Forge some paperwork, load a refrigerator truck in Vegas, and head for LA.

I think that I posted this earlier in this thread... Bacon may disappear in California as pig rules take effect
California voters passed a law in 2018 requiring more growing space for hogs, chickens, and egg layers.
As long as they are willing to pay for the difference I don't see that it should be an issue; yet what are the chances of THAT happening?
Most of the country's hogs are grown in the midwest (Iowa?) so they will also have to pay for an inspector to track from sow to grocery store.

In Iowa, which raises about one-third of the nation's hogs, farmer Dwight Mogler estimates the changes would cost him $3 million and allow room for 250 pigs in a space that now holds 300.

Pigs are put in a 20 square foot group pen in Iowa. That's 4' x 5'.
California stipulates a 24 square foot group pen. That's 4' x 6'.
That's the majority of the issue.

How is the grid going to handle electric bacon cookers?

Nuke it! That's still the quickest, easiest, least messy way to cook bacon.

Solar power.
Just lay the bacon on your roof.

<voice echoing from thread rabbit hole>

The best way to cook bacon is to deep fry it in bacon grease.

To get back on thread, do EVs need axle grease? The salt in the bacon would probably corrode connections.

OK, that's my nomination for the dumbest thing said in this thread. It may not win...

Sound like a bunch of hogwash
Bahahahahahahahaha

Not really; Cali wants to make hog production humane vs factory raised. The downside is the way they are going about it.

I’d like to make sure factory laborers working in other countries are working in humane conditions before I worry about hogs or chickens.
Like laborers making basketball sneakers, EV car batteries, etc.

Who actually does that though? We have auditors following the paper trail of trees, from stump to Home Depot and Staples to make sure that it's "environmentally certified"; yet who even looks at anything more than the price tag when it comes to buying sneakers? Yet it all comes back to the level playing field which we discussed earlier... factory workers in Sri Lanka are happy to be able to afford food, whereas people here complain while eating in front of their TVs.

1 year review of a "home built" 9n EV conversion

 

[aczlan]

We're finding that with our company trucks. Apparently transmissions were lasting too long, so they eliminated the tranny coolers.

Actually with synthetic it isn't as bad, and the cooler is included if you get the towing package.

Why would you buy a truck and NOT get the towing package (if you are planning to tow)? Built in brake controller and additional transmission cooling capacity will do wonders to increase transmission lifespan.

OK

Spellbinding reply, Solitary Man. The screen name suits you, btw.
But seriously, it’s nice to see you agree that humans need more love than chickens. Very social.
