“California’s air quality has gone down since the state forced the sale of more battery cars.”
The simple solution is to locate all stages of battery manufacture in China. That way the emissions and pollution won’t count.
It’s a competitive world.
It only costs our competitors a few million bucks to bribe Democrat politicians to harm us.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
I was in San Jose Costa Rica a couple years back - their downtown was unwalkable by me because of all the exhaust I felt as though I could hardly breath, I could I'm sure I just wasn't used to that level of CO - I had to go a couple streets over to a less busy street.
Its really sunny here its very close to the point where its the smart money solution to have solar panels and have one electric and one gas powered car. Right now I've got dollars bouncing off my roof and I'm spending money on gas I shouldn't.
Does this make sense as you move further north probably not, and we still need to figure out this battery thing, but it seems like we are much closer. In my neck of the woods there are lots and lots of Teslas - they are ubiquitous here.
There are a ton of hybrids too - you hardly ever smell exhaust at a traffic stop and its hot.
Ping.
More so, do we believe in Federalism anymore? Do we need different emission stds in different or "Woke" States? Do we need sanctuary cities in these States and Cities? Do they realize braniacs much smarter than I (Dennis Prager for one) have denoted all these behaviors mimic the Confederacy in around 1860 and the left doesn't even see that they are behaving this way? How does this work out.....
On a cradle-to-grace, overall emissions perspective including production of batteries and electricity to recharge them, I completely believe these two studies.
The ONLY benefits for EVs is significantly reduced point-of-use emissions and reduced noise. These are important benefits in congested urban and suburban areas where liberals live.
Their demonizing of fossil fuels is a big mistake. Time is not on their side. When the only way for their predictions to come “true” is to continuously lie then it’s only a matter of time before it’s GAME OVER.
See a pattern here.
2019 Honda Insight LX (hybrid) costs $22,830 for the base model.
2019 Honda Civic Coupe LX (gas ) costs $19,350 for the base model
Nissan Leaf - $22,490
Nissan Sentra - $17,950
Chevrolet Bolt - $29,950
Chevrolet Cruze - $19995

Don’t believe progressives and Democrats.
Our airwaves and web circuits are saturated with their lies — data pollution!
The auto manufacturers have for many years been working to reduce emissions of internal combustion engines with pretty good success, but the emissions connected with production of certain types of batteries doesn’t seem to be keeping up & in fact may only get worse as more are made. Colorado as a state gets a considerable amount of cold & snow in the winters, too....I can only wonder exactly how the electrics will do in this environment.
