Hydrogen will be a part of the equation, but we need more tech now to make hydrogen feasible. As it stands, it leads to more waste by introducing more intermediate processes. For instance, we generate hydrogen from natural gas, so it isn’t green right now. The only reason to go with hydrogen is for unique applications, but it isn’t necessary for the vast majority of passanger and basic commercial vehicles.

With any luck the San Andreas will have let go completely by then and that entire communist shithole will have slipped into the abyss where it belongs.

The sky is always falling for some people, it gets really old. Without getting too political, it’s sad to see how mismanaged California is. They are in bad shape in so many ways, I don’t see how unrealistic environmental laws will help. It’s also ironic that new cars are mostly very low emissions, it would make more sense to try and get older cars and trucks off the road first. The problem with that is how do you justify it when some people can’t afford a new car, much less a new electric car. Public transportation is great when it’s done well, but it’s not very realistic in some places. They have tried to expand the light rail system in my area and it’s a slow process. I wouldn’t be surprised if California tried to eliminate new car sales and make it too expensive to keep an older car or truck by making it difficult to pass emissions. So you have a state with high taxes, high cost of living, and electric cars only. Sprinkle in the companies that are leaving your state. Sounds like a recipe for success!

I don’t think you realize how many wind turbines and solar panels would be needed to power a state as big as California. Nuclear is an option but the Left doesn’t seem to like that option either. Not to mention the catastrophic failures they can have. Ask Japan how that has gone. There isn’t an easy solution to any of this, it will take a combination of many things and people working together. Eventually the only living things left in California will be Silicon Valley billionaires, “celebrities”, homeless people, and rats. Nobody should look at that state as an example of what to do. Texas has its own power grid that is very reliable for the most part. I work in that field and I’ve seen how other states fail miserably with their power grids. Larger numbers of EV’s will push most of those systems to a breaking point. I’ve said it before, but hybrids like the Prius make the most sense as a next step towards zero emissions. That should be the priority, not all electric all the things immediately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just because it's not reported doesn't mean it isn't on fire... don't forget Canada had some pretty bad ones in years past, the 2016 Fort McMurray one was one of the worst. The Oregon fires last week was a crazy one, completely caused by Santa Ana-like wind conditions resulting from the extreme cold in Colorado last Monday. I drove from WA back to CA last week and passed the brunt of it, including Thursday night when I stayed in Portland, home of the world's worst air quality. The long term problem isn't forests... it's what happens years down the road. The real fear is that forests will burn and not come back, replaced by grasslands... |

Lithium is abundant. Watch the Telsa presentation for some insight into how they are tackling these things. Recycling will be big in the future.

What has changed? How has management dramatically changed in the last twenty years?
Why are arsonists only on the west coast?

Solar is already a mandate for new homes. The cost of solar has come down that to replace a roof with a Tesla roof will likely be cheaper and/or more than make up for itself in home appreciation. Wind, geothermal, hydro will all add to things. In 15 years, where will all those technologies be? By then, new cars will be electric, but it’ll be a 30 years from now before a majority of cars are electric. This isn’t a timeline that necessitates concern.
