**California Abandons ‘Green’ Truck Regulations, Resolves Legal Dispute with Bill Barr-Associated Group**
In a shocking turn of events that has left environmentalists scratching their heads and truck drivers revving their engines, California has officially abandoned its ambitious ‘green’ truck regulations. The decision comes after a legal dispute with a group of truck enthusiasts known as the “Barr-None Coalition,” which is rumored to be associated with former Attorney General Bill Barr.
“We just couldn’t compete with the sheer horsepower of their arguments,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom, while polishing his vintage electric skateboard. “I mean, who knew that a bunch of guys in oversized cowboy hats could make such a compelling case for diesel fumes?”
The Barr-None Coalition, which claims to represent the interests of “real Americans who love their trucks and hate the smell of kale,” celebrated the victory with a barbecue featuring organic, grass-fed hot dogs—because even truck enthusiasts have to keep it somewhat green, right? “We’re just trying to keep America rolling,” said coalition leader Chuck “The Diesel” McGraw, while adjusting his trucker cap. “And by rolling, I mean rolling coal!”
In a bizarre twist, the coalition’s legal strategy involved a series of interpretive dance performances that they claimed represented the “freedom of the open road.” “It was a real showstopper,” said local judge Linda “The Gavel” Thompson. “I’ve never seen a court case decided by the Macarena before, but here we are.”
As California’s air quality experts weep into their reusable water bottles, the state has decided to pivot to a new initiative: “Operation Big Rigs and BBQ.” “We’re going to embrace our inner trucker,” said Newsom. “Next up, we’ll be rolling out a ‘Trucks and Tacos’ festival to celebrate our newfound freedom. Who knew that saving the planet could be so delicious?”
In the end, it seems that California’s green dreams have been put on hold, at least until the next interpretive dance competition. As for the Barr-None Coalition, they’re already planning their next legal battle: “Operation No More Speed Limits.” Because if there’s one thing that can unite America, it’s the right to drive really, really fast while eating a taco.
