Finally, CA grew some brains.

I would be in favor of mandating electric cars in California, as long as we started with municipalities, Hollywierdos and environmentalists.

If it worked well for them, only then should we consider expaning the program.

Meanwhile...

In the latest volley in the escalating battle between California and the Bush administration on environmental issues, Attorney General Bill Lockyer sued the EPA on Thursday, claiming that recent changes to the Clean Air Act would dramatically increase smog in the state.

The newest move from Sacramento joins a growing list of challenges to White House environmental policies, including its positions on offshore oil drilling, electric cars, logging in the Sierra and dead salmon on the Klamath River.

About time!!

The biggest issue with true electric cars is the fact you're only limited to 60-80 mile range on a single charge. Not very useful for almost every California driver. The successful development of gasoline-electric hybrids from Toyota and Honda has shown you can get a very fuel-efficient car that is very low-polluting indeed--and the Prius has the range to (in theory) drive from San Francisco to San Diego on a single 11.9 US gallon fillup!
