The electrical grid can only (with great difficulty) support all the electrical demand now (but not on a very hot or very cold day). eAutos will require almost 3000 NEW COAL FIRED electrical generating plants plus upgrade of all the substations etc. NO WAY.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

When the warranty ends, the misery begins. Cheers to common sense.
While my previous statement stands, this was sooo predictable yet the suckers keep lining up. I agree with you.

I had to rent a U-haul the other day to move a new couch I bought. No big ones to be had. Was told they are out of state and having a hard time getting drivers to get them back in state.
In any event, people don't think this can happen. I'm telling you it can with just a stroke of a pen. I haven't talked to anybody in Air Quality in a long time but last time I did the guy I talked to said CARB was trying to outlaw my 2006 John Deere tractor. I don't know about the rest of you but a 2006 tractor with 325 hours on it is brand new to me.
Kalifornia already outlawed commercial tractors below a certain year in the contracting sector. With a stroke of a pen Kalifornia outlawed construction euqipment. Small farmers are next. Or so I was told by an ARB employee.
Oh BTW, I was out of power a few weeks ago. Sure glad I had my genset for water and electricity. Too bad in 2028 people won't be able to buy a new gasoline genset in Kalifornia. link to genset ban.
So if anybody thinks it's not going to happen, you are mistaken. It's already happening in some states like mine. Is yours next? I think so. All it takes is a stroke of a pen.
So Fish, you are an informed person. You're up on a lot of stuff. Did the get the answer correct? What about the rest of you commenters from other states? Did you get it correct?
I bet most of you didn't know the laws that Kalifornia has implemented now did you? Coming to a state near you........![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

^ I’m well aware. And the proponents of this overreach (obvious who they are on this forum, problem is there are approximately 69billion more sheeple just like them out there running in the “wilds” of the urban shiteholes in this country) also understand what is happening. They just aren’t smart enough or choose not to be, and will ultimately likely be the force that pushes all this c rap through in places besides Kalifyukya.
What’s really hard to believe is after the greatest social experiment of any of our lives is coming to a close (Covid) that there are still so many sheep who refuse to jump the fence!
This ain’t like the “old days” (well Cali is, but it started with honorable intentions, with good results actually). The social and governmental issues have increased 10 fold. Just in the last 3 years!

One small advantage, I am saving a few bucks here in WA since it’s been publicized that vehicle registration is on the honor system. (Which is ironic since the popular vote for car tab fees got vetoed a couple years ago….one of those little known “facts” like Turtle is posting.
Neighbor/buddy, just became the chief of police for one of our largest suburbs in the SeaTac area. Some of his stories….wow!
So it WA keeps their weird regs and limitations unenforceable, just like a lot of real crime that hurts people and property, maybe we’ll luck out and be able to keep our tractors, lawn mowers and old cars!

The last new coal fired power plant to start up in the US was in 2013. And no plans for any new coal power plants. And not likely to get permits if they wanted to.
US only has about 500 coal fired power plants and those are slowly being shut down.

Pretty easy to know California's position when it comes to emissions and ICE vehicles. Just assume the worst case/anti business scenario imaginable and you got your answer.

U Haul registers all their trucks in AZ (look it up). How does the lack of U Haul trucks in CA relate to CA regs on registrations?
