    Wind and solar aren't creating the electricity to charge these EVs, It is coal or fossil fuels . So tell me what the savings are?

    I wonder what happens when in the year they want to stop diesel motors from coming into California. How much time before shelves run empty because out of states carriers with diesel trucks can't enter the state? Yes, it might look good to business executives and officials now but reality a whole other story.

    Side Effect of Petroleum is DAMAGING/DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT: PLANTS, ANIMALS, WATER, AIR.
    Chevron and Shell DESTROYED MANY VILLAGES, ECOSYSTEMS, PEOPLE IN CENTRAL and SOUTH AMERICA, but, using dystopian logic, that's okay because it's not NORTH AMERICA.
    Isn't it nice to know how our feigned "progress" has enabled Humanity to GO BACKWARDS using Fossil Fuels?
    The further FORWARD we believe we're travelling, the FURTHER BACKWARD WE BECOME.
    One only need LOOK at our MASSIVE LAND FILLINGS (small fabricated mountains), as well the PERMANENT LOSSES of The Central and South American RAIN FORESTS DUE TO SIMPLE MINDED GREED. The LUNGS OF THE EARTH.
    Soon Enough MANS' GREED WILL DESTROY THE "civilization", and deservedly so.
    The pointless/useless 5 and 6G+ will quickly decimate Life Forms and has been doing such for some years.

    WE AS A SOCIETAL STRUCTURE, are really no better off than we were at the Chicago's World Fair when westinghouse overruled Alternating Current, yet no credit went to NICOLA TESLA.

    There are so MANY VALID INFORMATION ARTICLES TO BACK UP WHAT I'M SHARING, that a simple (minded) search shall reveal pages of information.
    WE'RE a doomed Race of Beings.
    WEATHER ALONE WILL ELIMINATE MOST OF HUMANITY WITHIN THE NEXT 50 YEARS, IF THAT LONG.
    LOOK @ Florida. Next Hurricanes will decimate MORE land and Structures, like Miami.
    It's a doomed state as are most along I-10, at least through Texas.
    The West and East Coasts will Suffer Terribly too, and it has already begun, for those not 'paying attention".

    OUR "PROGRESS" IS OUR EPITAPH.

    Lithium Batteries will not save us from our selves because they're NOT RECYCLABLE, therefore just more TRASH for a Bleak Future of slow massive suicide.
    Hydrogen is another disaster.
    MARS will become another Moon with GARBAGE.
    MARS will not be a sanctity, just another Earth because where ever goes Humanity, CONTAMINATION,

    DEATH & DESTRUCTION FOLLOW!!

    Over 8 BILLION people on the Planet.
    3 - 4 Billion TOO MANY.
    POPULATION IS UNSUSTAINABLE!!

    Remember the Georgia Guide Stones?
    Too bad for us that some simple minded dim/half/nitwit took them out.

    HUMANITY CAUSED EARTH'S ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION.
    MOTHER NATURE & FATHER TIME COMPLY.
    - - - - - -
    I've noticed BIG CHANGES just since the '60's.

    Have A Nice Day/Night!! ;)
    CHEERZ!!

    Quit hauling into or out of Cali.
    They don’t want you there anyway, the governor said so.

    Huh? The working class had nothing to do with it. The Roman Empire ended gradually as large latifundia began raising their own armies and even hiring barbarian warlords to protect them from their own government's tax collectors.

    And what technology did the Romans steal from conquered people? The Romans mostly stole land, slaves, art, and cash. After they had conquered central Italy the people they conquered were always at a lower level of technology than themselves. The Carthaginians being the one notable exception.

    Some of these responses are downright hilarious. "Electric vehicles are coming about organically." Sure they are, they're not being involuntarily rammed up our back side or anything. And nobody has mentioned the working conditions or the forced child labor to mine all these rare metals

    They are putting the cart before the horse. There is not enough minerals in the earth for all the batteries needed. Not enough infrastructure to support the green dream.
    Dive deeper into the green technologies, it isn’t so great.

    Don't worry, with 15 minute cities there's no reason to own a car.

    It’ll be cute seeing them lined up and down the Coquihalla or in Colorado looking for a charge in the dead of winter because of everything we know that will happen.

    The 25% quota at first will likely be covered by local trucks, people that could possibly see a benefit from running electric trucks.
