California air board to vote on landmark electric-car rules

Does California plan to build a Berlin Wall to keep its victims from escaping? As the state becomes loonier, the smart ones will leave and the not-so-smart won’t be able to afford those expensive electric toys.

Well, since they already have a “Green Energy” percentage mandate, I guess they will pay a premium for Nevada Geothermal electricity.

There are also a couple of solar projects here.

So Kalifornia users will pay extra for electricity that should have been generated locally at cheaper rates.

Rich libs don’t care, trust fund greens don’t care, the “Poor” don’t care as they are subsidized.
Only the working stiff has to worry, and he has no real say in the matter.

In all seriousness, this really looks to me like an advanced version of either a two-year-old’s tantrum or a teenage girl’s daydream. Just wish that it were so and that’s the end of the train of thought.

considering taking out 4 hydroelectic dams on the Kalamoth River,

COPCO, I assume, is one; but what/where are the other three? How much generation will have to be replaced total?

I’m guessing this is one of the ‘whys’ they were able to exempt hydro from the “green” generation definitions.

And our slow suicide continues, but this time we're taking you all with us. California sets the standard for every car sold in America.

I'm the proud owner of a perfectly serviceable vehicle which I can't drive because it can't pass smog. But I still have to pay the registration, which they won't give me until it passes. I can't even junk it without up to date tags, not that I would, it's only 10 years old and paid for!

They say the mileage standard will offset the cost of the car, but they keep increasing the amount of ethanol in the gas which decreases the mileage by half, and ruins your engine.We already have the most expensive gas on the mainland. This is just part of their diabolical plan to force us all out of cars and onto trains. These so-called Progressives want to take us back to trains and windmills, horses and buggies.Nothing progressive about them.

I don't know if any pressure can be brought on Gov. Moonbeam, but you all should call your Senators and Governors and scream bloody murder about this because it affects you all. Maybe they can prevent him from signing it.
