[QUOTE="Frogger22, post: 1541240, member: 14244"] Didn’t have time to read this thread but a few of my thoughts on hearing about it: - Newsom doesn’t care cause he will be long gone in 15 years so easy for him to just pick some random date out of the air - 15 years is not a long time at all to change your entire mode of transportation. With government being involved you probably need to double any estimate realistically at the least - It’s California, so obviously money just is free for everyone to be lovingly taken as desired, so who cares about costs of anything. Thank god there are no poor and low income people in California... - California’s power grid already can’t handle their current power usage so that would definitely help a lot (sarcasm). When California’s “green power” isn’t enough they literally buy it from other states who make it the old fashion way. So they can virtue signal to their insane voters and still try to power the place sorta. Solid plan guys as the blackouts in over 100 degree weather show us. - they have done comparisons that EV are just as bad for the environment when you account for the entire lifecycle. Those batteries aren’t so green after they come out of the car. - if you actually want real clean power the only answer for now is Nuclear. But California is/did close their nuclear plants, cause of reasons? - if anyone had half a brain in government and they really gave a shit about the environment they would make high efficiency/ high speed trains all over the US. Trains connecting big cities and states. Trams and good bus networks for the cities individually and you would naturally eliminate a massive need for a huge number of POV’s. Europe does this quite well and has for a long time. - the government makes no situation better by getting involved. This progression would of happened naturally through normal advancements in technology if they just stayed out of the way. But power and control or something. - they will follow the same model as Sweden, tax the shit out of cars till everyone goes EV. Then realize you aren’t making anymore tax money because everyone went to EV. Start new taxes that tax the shit out of EV. Collect money and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
