[QUOTE="SkyPilot, post: 1821501, member: 42630"] I'm a fan of the EV/alternate fuel development. (Tons of torque where you need it down low etc....... I will miss the V8 rumble-I regard my Gen 2 Raptor time as a time of conditioning on that one......). BUT, I also had my early years growing up in West Los Angeles. We lived there and were acclimated. In the early 1960s I distinctly remember days when our eyes would be streaming tears from the smog. Today, flying in to the LA basin you can see the haze layer but relatively speaking the red stinging eyes with tears streaming down your face are a thing of the past. Walked past my friend's stock '57 Chevy siting there idling the other day-HEAVY gas fumes central, NOTHING like today's cars where you often don't even know they are running...... My point-We have made HUGE progress with fossil fuels through the years and bring on the next phase whatever it is battery electrics, hydrogen fuel cells, whatever. But, don't throw out the progress we've made for some inadequate half baked pie in the sky not ready for prime time solution to a politically inspired non-existent problem. Yeah, California 2035 only new electric vehicles available, typical hand wringing over reaction. Just had to say it........ [/QUOTE]
