Yeah, Commiefornia. A state where you can change your gender, but not your car's muffler. There's a guy I see at car shows who moved to TN this past year and he said that it's like moving back to the USA having left California. With the ban on new gas stations and new internal combustion powered vehicles by 2035, California will continue to spiral down the toilet bowl it's going down.

I saw a news article the other day where it was by a liberal journalist who actually admitted that energy prices will go up with the demand from EVs. Something that wouldn't have made such an impact from losing Russian natural gas supplies is coal. The only country in the world that has more coal than the US is China, and not by much. There are 1 quadrillion (1,000 trillion) tons of proven reserves (meaning reserves we know of) in the world. That supply would be able to keep us in electricity for MANY years until we find viable alternatives to fossil fuels.
