It is starting to pop up. My HOA has began debating it. I would gladly add this. Even if I do not yet have an electric car it at the very least is good for property values and rent rates. I think eventually it will become an expectation.

Companies will continue to be founded and stay in California because this is where the talent is.

Reducing gasoline sonsumption would like increase plastic production. Most plastic is made from petroleum. This is in and of itself not a bad thing assuming the plastic gets recycled and ground water pollution laws stay in place. Petroleum’s decline as a fuel for power production will lower the value of oil which will…

The Chevy Bolt and Ford Focus electric are reasonably priced. The Chevy is in the $30s and the Ford is in the $20s. The Tesla is a full size luxury vehicle and is more comparable to a large Mercedes Sedan than say a Honda Accord.

There is space in California. It is called the desert. A cable is attached in and then a series of step up transformers keep the voltage up. There is no shortage of desert empty space in Southern California. It is about 50% of the land mas.

The mean is the average.

He his not lauding the current state of the interstate highway system but rather he is pointing to its construction in the 1950s and 1960s.

Shipbuilding in Long Beach, Taylor Guitars in San Diego, the list goes on and on.

Manufacturing is also a low value added portion of business. Invention and creativity are the big value added. For example on an $800 iPhone only $4.00 of value is added by the Assembly. Second, the Bay Area has one of the largest Biotech manufacturing facilities in Genentech. California also Amgen, Illumina and some…

Yes but if I spend 15 minutes at the charger I am far more likely to go into the quickie mart and purchase a bottle of water or other item that will increase my bill.

I think as electric vehicles become more common condo HOAs and apartment buildings will install charging stations in all parking spots. The same way people expect cable hookups, washer/dryer, and AC.

200 mile range is far greater than 120 mile round trip. Plus by 2040 I am certain electric vehicles will only be better.

Agreed, I live in California (Southern) and it is wonderful. However, if you watched conservative media you would swear it was some sort of warzone run by communists who piss on the American flag and then burn it in a weed fire everyday.

The bans also are decades into the future and only apply to new vehicles. Does anyone think there will even be gas/diesel only vehicels for sale in 2040? I sure do not. Cummings just released its Electirc truck powerplant with 1 200 mile local range and long range trucking will certainly follow and certainly before…

Makes perfect sense. This man is clearly a traitor for kneeling in non-violent protest. Let’s make sure though that we keep up the public statues though of the “men” who took up arms against the US Government, killed hundreds of thousands of US soldiers in an effort to keep a race of people numbering in the millions…

Wow, you wasted 4 consecutive unapproved comments on that, fascinating. Also, you spelled crap incorrectly, you spelled it carp as though it were a fish.

Well, I would hardly call that progress. If you want to drive a safety mobile, go buy one but don’t force your “values” on me. I wear a helmet bicycling and motorbiking but I do not care for the government telling me I have to. It is my death and my life.

More likely Europe has a better mass transit system due to history. During WWII almost all of Europe was destroyed with almost no economy so investment in mass transit made a lot of sense as communities rebuilt. In the US the nation was spared any major damage and Americans sought yards in the suburbs, this promoted…

That’s right. He was a backup so he probably only played 1 possession or so in each game.

Well then why not ban motorcycles? Or ban bicycles from the public road, or skateboards?  They have zero crash defense of any kind. why do we all just not walk around with body armor, first aid kits, and football pads?
