We could do it right now by banning the use or posession of any ICE powered mode of transportation for all public employee,s and officers of the court.

And “consent of the governed” is just a quaint phrase

They’ve already banned 2011 and older diesel engines from being commercially registered in CA, and no one cares.

Yeah. You beat me to it. There doesn’t seem to be anything stopping leftard illegal laws. They just keep getting away with it. Personally I hope they speed it up and step it up and make all gasoline illegal in 5 years. I wanna see the train wreck.

I’m currently watching their water shortage and having a good chuckle. Not because they are suffering but because I like to observe arrogant people make dumb choices. It’s entertaining.

It takes a lot of money to get lawyers to overturn bad laws in court. Repealing the law is pretty much impossible with no turnover in the legislature. So, democrats figure go ahead and pass crappy laws. They won’t get sued or go to jail for it. Maybe it gets overturned, maybe not.

It’s a moot point. Most manufacturers have already declared their intention to go all electric soon and by 2035 gas powered vehicles won’t be offered. And why would they not want to go electric? Their cost to produce gasoline cars with more and more stringent pollution standards and R&D must be astronomical. If cheap batteries can be developed then theoretically the overall cost of EV’s should fall.

California is committing suicide by EV. No law ever stopped a suicide. Why would they care?

Absolutely unrealistic.

I am not opposed to non-gas vehicles.

I am opposed to requiring something the technology cannot yet provide and replacing current usable technology before alternative sources are available, cheap, easy to use, and environmentally friendly.

ICE vehicles are already expensive right now.

Maybe if we mine cobalt, nickel, and lithium here in USA. But we have to import all of that from China. And they have a monopoly on all the good stuff.

You’re right about current technology. However I read an article recently where batteries of aluminum, sulfuric acid and salt showed promise as a cheaper alternative.

That's where we are at now. Tesla battery v. 1.0 is a good start but it's not a mass produced car for the American population. Need for the v. 2.0 to come out so the EVs can be purchased for 20 grand. That's not possible at this point.

You can buy a brand new spartan ICE vehicle for 20 grand right now (well, before covid-19 pandemic anyway)

Isn’t there something called “commerce clause” in the constitution?
