Evs are a dead issue. No farmer can farm with an EV. No trucker can deliver loads on time with an EV. The sooner the USA understands how stupid this whole idea is the better.
We are at risk of destroying our economy and radically reduce our lifestyles.
Anyone who thinks socialism is the answer is absolutely wrong. We have already lost significant amount of freedom through heavy taxes and limited access. I feel sorry for the next generation. They will look at their parents and say “ what is wrong with you?!”

Hydro power is nice and “green” since water, a dam and gravity are all you need. It’s green compared to burning fossil fuels for energy production but the necessary dams can and have absolutely devastated local ecosystems. Salmon in NW states is a perfect example.

I’m sure all those Greenpeace activists would disagree about hydro being green. I guess whether or not hydro is green depends upon if you want to feel good about yourself when you charge your car or if you’re wanting to go salmon fishing. Just hope you don’t need to drive your EV to go salmon fishing.

Dikdik presented some cool charts about atmospheric carbon. Problem was they only went back 800,000 years. Yes that’s a long time for us but coal formation was 250 million years ago. Even without ice cores to examine it’s a known fact carbon dioxide levels were far higher then than any time since.

What is coal made from? The carbon portion of plants. (In Missouri you can separate layers of coal and still find individual grass leaves.). Where did the carbon in the plants come from? The atmosphere. Crude oil came from algae that pulled carbon from the atmosphere. So all the carbon in all the fossil fuels in all the world was once in the atmosphere. Even 100 million years after that Antarctica was green with plants and dinosaurs. Of course there won’t be any ice cores from that far back because there wasn’t any ice.

The beautiful thing about charts is that you don’t have to start at the beginning but you can start them at whatever point will make your case. Start that same chart at the year 2000 and it will show hardly any increase in atmospheric carbon has occurred. Yes that’s only 24 years but Dikdik’s charts were only 800,000 years. That’s only 1/312 of the time since the beginning of the Carboniferous period. In comparison that’s 1.2 days out of an entire year.

You don’t need to lie to prove your point, just provide the minimum facts needed to prove that you know what you’re talking about. Don’t tell the whole story, just enough of it to prove your point. (Not talking about Dikdik, rather researchers and scientists.)

As of the moment, it appears that California really has no master plan other than to shut down petroleum and natural gas from being used by the consumer. The last nuclear plant in California was scheduled to be shut down but was given a reprieve because they have nothing to replace the loss in energy production that would result from shutting down this plant. California doesn't care about being right, they only care about being first. If you are thinking about moving to California, think twice. This state is not what it used to be. Admittedly, our weather is beautiful most of the year. The sun shines often and fortunately Governor Newsom hasn't figured a way to turn it off. However, he and his cronies are working diligently to find ways to charge consumers for using sun power. As an example, if you have a solar system and are connected to the grid, there is now a charge for doing so. The logic being that since you are generating your own electricity, you are depriving the electrical producers from profiting because you are selling energy back to the producers rather than buying energy from them. Sad!
