During a portion of an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm praised California’s proposal to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 and said the plan “could be” a national model, but acknowledged that the price of electric vehicles has to come down and the power grid has to be expanded.

How do I “Short” CA?

California, the land of rolling blackouts. When will you be able to charge your car? Every other week?
Fair enough, but to put a sharper point on it any two out of the three would describe her.

This appears, however, to be the result of our putting solid Americans into office and the next day they get a folder from Biden's FBI and the next day they vote to ban fire breathing engines.

Now taking that away takes away freedom thanks to the Dems.
Old people often say “If you take my keys away you may as well call it a death sentence because my life is over.”
In California their polls since the 1980s showed “People want rail, bus and other mass transit to be funded fully but they want someone else to ride on them.” They said they will continue to drive their own cars.
2035?
I was told we only had 11 years left about three years ago.
Miss Mexico and Ed Ethiopian will not be joining the Biden plan.
It’s no where near $green$ enough.
If this catches on, the US will look like Cuba in a generation. Lots of old vehicles maintained well beyond their expected lives, especially south of the snow belt. Run down gas stations.
The electric chargers will often be vandalized the scrap value of their charging cables. Primitive, dystopian, dysfunctional.
