The population will crash in California.
Newsome can promise to end ICE vehicle sales by 2035, and have only EV sales.
But...
problem is, and it’s the same problem for everybody that believes him, is that...
It’s a LOOONNNNGGGG term promise, and he won’t be governor at that time....
meaning that, the promise has no chance in hell for being kept....
meaning that, therw will be at least 2 (perhaps 3) governors by then, and anyone of them can kill Newsome’s promise and then....
ICE vehicles will still reign supreme, in California and everywhere else.
Just give us a high speed railway! Oh, never mind.
These mandatory restrictions are torture for me. I’m sorry I lived this long to endure this.
Leftists never let reality be their guide.
The end game is to take personal vehicles away from everyone but elites.
Regarding California renegade government EV escapism, the following list is not intended to be complete.
Two Dead in NYCHA Housing Blaze Ignited by Exploding E-bike Battery, Officials Say (8.3.22)
Yikes: Florida electric vehicle owner barely escapes disaster after EV fire (8.3.22)
Super Pricey Electric Bus Goes Ablaze While Parked, Unoccupied (7.28.22)
After massive bus fire, CT pulls electric fleet from service. ( Connecticut ) (7.26.22)
Proterra Bus Fire Prompts California Agency to Consider Shelving Electric Bus Fleet (7.23.21)
Totaled Tesla goes up in flames three weeks after crash (6.24.22)
EVs first need to be pioneered and "domesticated" imo.
Also, I'm still waiting for global warming alarmists to explain why lots (millions?) of ordinary people have experienced when greenhouse gasses like methane and CO2 fail to hold the heat down under the shadow of a midday solar eclipse of an otherwise warm sunny day.
Solar eclipse 2017: How much did the temperature change during the eclipse? (non-FR; 8.22.17)
Also, is it any surprise that nighttime temperatures typically keep dropping in various places until shortly after sunrise?
So-called "global warming" alarmism amounts to corrupt government leaders working with likewise corrupt CEOs to abuse government power by forcing citizens to buy, through unconstitutional, unaccountable federal taxing and spending, junk science products as remedies for government-industrial-manufactured crises imo.
ROUGH ESTIMATES
A kilowatt-hour will propel your Tesla about three miles.
About ten 100-watt solar panels for eight hours will propel your Tesla about 24 miles.
Well, how about an electric bike? Cheaper than a Tesla!
And it might get you to work & back.
Some of us here on FR have done the basic math. This is not rocket science, but it may as well be for crazy leftists in charge.
They can do what New York is doing with their plan: depend on “dispatchable emission free resources” (DEFRs). This is a fancy way of saying “here a miracle happens.” IOW, Some future technology which is not available now and not even invented yet, but which will need to provide 30-40 gigawatts of energy on a sustainable basis by 2035 or so. Fairy dust is just about as much a reality, but these are experts— for whom reality is a mere nuisance anyway. By the time the whole thing collapses in a heap, they will have taken their money and run.
The plan of California is crystal clear.
They want folks out of their individual vehicles and riding
mass transit.
Evidently the mayor of San Diego is a freak for this plan.
Book mark.
Whar a hoot these eco-idiot utopians are. Can you imagine millions of Californians zipping around in their EVs. While half the state is paved over with solar panels and wind farms to supply their electricity. Too bad there is zero solar generated electricity to charge them up at might.
In giant population centers like LA, they’ll force the masses onto trains.
Can’t fix Kalifornia,I mean stupid!
Californicator is a totally failed state from every single angle, and it will bring down the rest of the country if not stopped.
EV chargers throughout the state should be required to be powered by windmills and solar panels.
