Yes, California has come a long way since Reagan was Governor. Unfortunately a long way down.

If I was an automaker, I would provide a ulev like the Honda Insight and Toyota whatever, and pay the $5000 fine per unsold zlev (10% of sales). It would be a lot less costly than losing 10-100k per vehicle.

If the government then wants to play hardball, the first thing I would do is announce that because of irrational government meddling in my business I will move every company asset-plants, studios, etc out of CA and if necessary to Mexico or Taiwan or wherever. I think Ford and GM should have enough economic clout to have the issue re-examined rationally.

Besides, where will the electricity coming from and what to do with the mountains of discarded batteries with who knows what toxic effects? We can't even be sure from day to day whether or not the lights will be on, much less be sure that we can recharge our vehicles every 60 miles.

Another forced march into oblivion by the wacko envirolibs.

Has anyone else noticed the irony of the electric vehicle mandate being put out by an agency called CARB? (California Air Resources Board)
