The agency would like to give those of low income a voucher to buy energy-efficient vehicles like the Nissan Leaf, which has a sticker price of $21,000. The board currently gives drivers $1,000 to $1,500 to get rid of their older vehicles in an attempt to curb carbon emissions; there is a second program that gives up to $4,000 depending on the vehicles involved.

You can’t fix stupid. For the cost of a Leaf they could buy two comparable gasoline driven cars.

California is teetering on precipice of bankruptcy; where are they going to get the money?

Are they going to tax industry at a higher rate so they can drive more taxpayers out of the state?

The plan is to give them electric cars.
