As far as stimulating the economy with an unfunded mandate , so there's a hint of sarcasm there. An unfunded mandate means the feds says the state has to make this happen, then they (the US) DOESN'T spend any money. Then the states work out charging stations with contractors using tax breaks and fee schemes. Then more powerplants get approved because they have to be. <----"small boon" to the economy. |
There's a huge problem with whizz-bang new CAFE regs.
I just heard that California is now psyched up to get down to work on what the NEXT round of regulations kicking in after 2016 will be!
I don't live there, and I can vote on these people or the people that appointed these people on the California Air Resource Board. How can THEY pick and choose what happens in MY state?
On the other hand, why does California want electric cars for? They HATE all forms of inexpensive electricity production. They sit on VAST amounts of oil and natural gas but can't drill it. They hate nuclear, hydro, and coal. That leaves them with Wind and Solar which they can't produce much of and nobody wants those "eyesores" blocking their view... SO THEY IMPORT THEIR ENERGY FROM NEIGHBORING STATES!!!!
I say let them mandate electric cars and then have the surrounding states CUT THEM OFF!
No Electricity for you!
