Gavin Newsom Launches Methane Satellites as CA Health System goes Bankrupt

March 24, 2025 — bunkerville

While the rest of us are expected to reimburse $40 Billion to the CA denizens for the fires that ravaged  their state, it’s up and away for tracking the evil methane gases. While it is claimed that Newsom is tracking to the right to prepare for his run for President next time around, he doubles down on bankrupting California.

By the way, Newsom also recently signed $50 million in spending to fight the administration’s policies and to provide legal assistance to illegal aliens who are resisting deportation.

Breitbart:

Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the State of California will launch methane-detecting satellite sensors at a cost of $100 million — while it is borrowing over $6 billion to fill shortfalls in its health care system.

The Golden State is out of cash, and its Medicaid system, Medi-Cal, is reportedly insolvent thanks to Newom’s decision to expand free health care to illegal aliens. The state is also reeling from wildfires, homelessness, and crime.

Yet Newsom, who recently launched his own podcast, believes that the state has enough money to fund the launch of satellite sensors to track the local release of methane, a greenhouse gas, in an effort to reduce global emissions.

Ironically, California has emitted six times more carbon dioxide than any other state in the Union over the past 17 years, thanks to wildfires that have burned out of control partly due to the state’s failure to clear brush in forests.

Newsom announced the satellite launch as a dig against the Trump administration over climate change — even as he is also counting on President Donald Trump and the Republicans to provide $40 billion in aid for the California fires.In a statement, the governor’s office said:

The satellite project and the data acquired by it is made possible by a $100 million investment from the state’s Cap-and-Trade program. Already, one satellite has been launched with up to 7 more to be deployed.

The state will maintain a database and web portal to coordinate and document mitigation actions. While California does not own these satellites, state agencies will be able to select specific regions for observation. This data will also be available to communities to view methane mitigation efforts, education, and for outreach.

…

Last year, California followed through on a promise by former Governor Jerry Brown when a philanthropically-backed coalition, including the state, launched its ‘own damn satellite’ to help track dangerous pollutants like methane.

Just for the point of reference as to what this is all about, let’s slide back a few years and check out Bunks box of golden moment

United States Signs Commitment Placing Farmers Under Restrictions to Reduce Methane Gas.

June 2, 2023

The nations signing onto this pledge to transform their farm policies are the United States, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Germany, Panama, Peru and Spain.

So it’s curious that, at the very time the globalists are warning about food shortages and famine, their mouthpieces at the World Bank, the U.N., and within the administrations of the U.S. and its allies (notice China and Russia are nowhere to be found in these preposterous anti-food policies), are talking about converting over to a new and unproven form of “sustainable” farming that’s focused more on reducing methane than it is on producing the highest yields of food.

What he really means in the tweet below is, 100 million free people and 900 million serfs and slaves, the few they decided to keep alive to serve them. The billions slated for removal are we “useless eaters” that automation will make idle, and the Elites don’t like free men. Too hard to control

Will the CA Fires Impact the Progressive Movement?

January 9, 2025 — bunkerville

One would think this would about finish the Democrats in California. The “Migrants” have been starting fires for decades. 

It’s not like the citizens haven’t been warned about their decisions regarding water management.

Unfortunately California thinks the rest of the country should live as they do. Let us hope a lesson has been learned. Biden? Biden is set to announce ANOTHER $500 MILLION to Ukraine while Los Angeles, California burns.

So let’s see how we got to this –

Then add this:

Bunkerville back in 2018.

Obama-Era Eco-Terrorism through Environmental Regulations

These Obama-era regulations introduced excessive layers of bureaucracy that blocked proper forest management and increased environmentalist litigation and costs — a result of far too many radical environmentalists, bureaucrats, Leftist politicians and judicial activists who would rather let forests burn than let anyone thin out overgrown trees or let professional loggers harvest usable timber left from beetle infestation, or selectively cut timber.

In a 2016 Townhall column, Paul Driessen explains:

Eco-purists want no cutting, no thinning – no using fire retardants in “sensitive” areas because the chemicals might get into streams that will be boiled away by conflagrations. They prevent homeowners from clearing brush around their homes, because it might provide cover or habitat for endangered species and other critters that will get incinerated or lose their forage, prey and habitats in the next blaze. They rarely alter their policies during drought years.

The resulting fires are not the “forest-rejuvenating” blazes of environmentalist lore. They are cauldron-hot conflagrations that exterminate wildlife habitats, roast bald eagle and spotted owl fledglings alive in their nests, boil away trout and trout streams, leave surviving animals to starve, and incinerate every living organism in already thin soils … that then get washed away during future downpours and snow 

In September 2016, Governor Brown vetoed SB 1463, a bill in the California legislature which would have required the California Public Utilities Commission to prioritize areas at increased risk from overhead wires in their management of wildfires.

Then we had Brown slashing the forest management budget. Good move moonbeam.

Also note the infamous Delta Smelt budget was not cut… this endangered specie causing the water shutdown thus causing the drought in the lush farmland of  Central California.

Governor Newson continued the absurd fire policies as his predecessor.

And the coup de grâce of California at its finest? 

More than 2 million people are being plunged into darkness as part of an unprecedented, orchestrated blackout across Northern California. But good luck finding out whether you’re one of them. Bloomberg’s Lynn Doan reports on “Bloomberg Markets.”

Meanwhile Trump has been talking about the fire dangers for years.

The Washinton Post has done numerous stories in the past about the migrants starting fires. Of course they wouldn’t run any stories these days. Just search the Washington Post for the stories in the past claiming it is a major cause.

IILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FEEDING WILDFIRE EPIDEMIC IN CALIFORNIA

 

LOS ANGELES, JUNE 6 — Illegal immigrants who hike through the rugged forested mountains of eastern San Diego County after making it across the border are causing a dramatic surge in wildfires because of fires they light when camping out in the area, state and county officials said today.

In some cases, the illegal immigrants, hoping to use the isolation of the mountains to work their way north, are at serious risk of being hurt or killed by wildfires they helped start.

The number of wildfires in the region since January is already four times last year’s total, a frightening jump that has prompted the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to declare a state of emergency and ask President Clinton to deploy U.S. troops near the border to prevent the immigrants from entering the forests.

“It’s a disaster waiting to happen,” said Diane Jacob, a member of the Board of Supervisors representing eastern San Diego County. “I don’t think it’s a matter of if we have a major human catastrophe. It’s a case of when, if something isn’t done immediately.”
