Well, since California beefed up their grid and have more electricity than they know what to do with, it makes total sense...

Merkely and Wyden, both demonrat senators who wouldn’t be where they are today if not for mail in voting and massive fraud when “the voters tes are counted.”
Merkely is up for re-election and lied to the public trying to pass himself off as farm boy from eastern Oregon. No one there votes for him, so go figure.
He has marched with protesters, screwed his voting base and hopefully will have to retire in the middle of Antifa/BLM run commie Portland.

I like to see the numbers on how this would affect electrical usage—and where all the electrical generation is supposed to come from...

States like California can barely keep the electric grid running now.

"...unveiled an electric Hummer with a 350-mile range and other spiffy features. The price tag: $112,595. Folks in middle America can buy a home for less."

Roomy. too. So after the economy tanks and you lose your job and become homeless, you can live in your electric Hummer--with its dead battery.

When my parents were living, I frequently made the trip between Chicago and St. Louis: 300 miles, 5-6 hours. Not a long drive. If I had an electric, I could go only 5/6 of the way before I would run low on juice and have to look for a charging station in the middle of nowhere, and then sit for several hours while it charged. No thanks. When Dad died, I kept his 2009 Grand Marquis. I think I am going to try to keep it running until they take away my driver’s license.

Now lets see if I can get this straight...
45 years ago POLLUTION was causing THE COMING ICE AGE, so we were told to use mass transit.
45 years ago it was “Peak Oil” and we soon would have no gasoline.
40 years ago it was the Hole in the OZONE! and we had to get rid of our air conditioned autos.

30 years ago it was Glo-Bull warming caused by CO2 pollution and power plants.

20 years ago it was Y2K! Computer collapse!

Now it is Climate Change and pollution which is causing the world to “heat up!”

One wonders if there is a group looking for something to frighten the public with next year.

There’s a house in my neighborhood with a full-size pickup and a heavily modified Dodge Challenger in the driveway.

And yet there’s a bunch of Biden signs on the lawn.

Don’t those morons even think for a moment about what they’re voting for?

Never mind. I know the answer already.

Shoot I love my electric car, and I don’t want everybody to have one. There aren’t any lines at the chargers, so I never have to wait except for the car to charge which can take a really long time. But the car is fun to drive and it suits my OCD nature about charging it.

Congress doesn’t have to mandate anything. The whole industry is moving toward electric—and as the batteries get better, people will want them. By 2035, most cars will be electric. The marketplace is an amazing thing when it’s left alone.

Same idiots promoting this as those promoting renewable energy. Imagine a country full of electric cars when we already don’t have enough power generation. If brains were dynamite, these people planning this stuff couldn’t blow their noses.

Not in California they can’t.

This is harvest time in the Midwest with behemoth combines, tractors and large semi trucks bringing in the harvest and hauling it to local elevators. All of these machines that help feed this country run on diesel power. Where are the electric powered combines and tractors? Where do you recharge them in the middle of a field? Taking hours to drive them to some charging station at speeds of only 10 mph and waiting hours for them to charge would mean days of lost harvest time and grain spoiling in the fields. How do these Green Zealots propose to feed this country?
