And replace them with what?
Tesla alone has waiting lists stretching up a year and beyond.
We don't even have enough battery capacity or electric power to support an all EV situation. And we still regularly have brown outs in California. And Germany is busy switching off their heating and electricity already, to conserve electric power use.

We don't even have enough battery capacity or electric power to support an all EV situation. And we still regularly have brown outs in California.

We need to work on the grid. But it doesn't matter. The momentum is there for EVs. California banning it is a huge move. Big 3 will not manufacture ICE vehicles anymore. So EVs will be the only game in the town.

[MinorityRepublican]

I think Leo likes guys and has 25 and under women around as beards.

Maybe. Or he's bi.

[dfwgator]

Yeah he likes men AND boys.

[SmokingJoe]

We need to work on the grid.

Which “we” you talking about?
We've been hearing that for decades and we still have brownouts and insufficient power, even with only 1 to 2% of cars on the road being electric..

But it doesn't matter.

Yes it does.
You can't just grab electricity from nothing’

The momentum is there for EVs.

With GM making only a tiny number of EV’s per quarter?

California banning it is a huge move. Big 3 will not manufacture ICE vehicles anymore. So EVs will be the only game in the town.

You come up with the jokes yes?
California’s economy will collapse today if they banned ICE vehicles today. They can't even produce enough electric power today even with most vehicles on the roads being ICE vehicles.

It's going to be a $#itshow. But it's not going to stop Gavin Newsom and other politicians from banning ICE vehicles. California is an one party state. We saw that Sri Lanka had decided to go green with disastrous results. So just because it's bad policy does not mean it'll stop them from doing it. Put on your seat belts. It'll be a bumpy ride.

[SmokingJoe]

But it's not going to stop Gavin Newsom and other politicians from banning ICE vehicles.

And just how many EV’s does Newsom produce?
Even Tesla was reduced to moving their latest EV factory to Texas to escape from crazy lowdown's in California.

California is an one party state

The same California just RECALLED their far left District Attorney in San Francisco because of his far let crazy acts and Newsom himself came close to getting recalled.

So just because it's bad policy does not mean it'll stop them from doing it.

Newsom can collapse the California economy and at the same time collapse his own political ambitions and destroy any hopes of becoming president.

[Secret Agent Man]

All elites need to be called on their hypocrisy. It could be a full time job, one would never be “finished”.

Leo is an additional target because he’s not gay, just an alpha male who smartly won’t get married and risk losing half his money and assets in divorce and child support. Gynosociety doesn’t like men they can’t control this way.

[sauropod]

Agree.

[ronnie raygun]

Oh these hypocritical morons

[gattaca]

Ditto that

[GranTorino]

They can sell all the evs they want. The power grid will never be up to it.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Pointing out hypocrisy and double standards never seems to accomplish much, if anything.

[Travis McGee]

[COBOL2Java]

It's also clear that you don't know that my government announced a new commitment to eradicate illegal deforestation by 2028, and not by 2030 as most countries. Or maybe you do know that, but for some reason pretend to be ignorant.

More than just ignorant. He's a dumbass moron whose only skill lies in the ability to memorize lines. His fame makes him an "expert" on whatever virtue-signaling cause his liberal echo-chamber picks.

[Bulwyf]

We will build our own. EVs are a damn joke and a poor one.

[FLT-bird]

Beautiful.

He could have told him to give up his private jets and his multiple homes too.

That needs to be the response to ALL of them...Obama, Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Al Gore, Schwarzenegger and all the others in Hollywood, etc.

Give up your yacht.
Give up your private jet.
Give up your mansions - particularly seaside mansions.
Dramatically lower your standard of living.

THEN talk. Until you do the above, you have nothing to say.

[FLT-bird]

“Carbon offsets”.....are as I call them, green indulgences from the Church of Gaia.

Its EXACTLY the same thing and EXACTLY the same dynamic going on. It disgusts people in EXACTLY the same way now that it did 500 years ago.

[bert]

While I think the Bolsonaro gambit is successful in the end, wealth to be preserved must be invested.

A yacht, an airplane and certainly real-estate are such investments

The yacht and airplane produce carbon in large quantity and may not be the best choices

[dfwgator]

It’s about getting rid of personal transportation, period. “Oops guess EVs aren’t the solution after all, guess you’ll just have to move to the cities and use public transportation.”
