... I live in California, one of the highest tax locations in the US, but I get so much more by living here. I'm not moving ...
Ahhhh... You must be on the Freeway right now!
So Cal Edison businesses as of July were pretty much forced to stop EV charging due to the new tariffs thanks to Jerry Brown and Friends.
I'm not moving either, but I don't fear Washington DC. My enemy is much, much closer to home. I live in a state that hates businesses and bases most of it's decisions on diversity issues. We lack effective national representation, our schools are going into the toilet, our infrastructure is collapsing but instead of doing anything about it, Jerry and Friends are spending millions to try and wage war against the White House and California Businesses. And we just received a bigger bill for ammo.
No EV rebates here, except for people who either lie about their taxes, or really cannot afford a new EV.
Promised and funded EV infrastructure halted.
Ultra high L2 charging tariffs for businesses were just approved.
Extra registration fees voted in for EVs.
Millions spent on refueling H2 cars that don't exist and nobody wants, even with $5000 rebates.
The largest Green House Gas disaster in the US happened here recently.
California gas leak was the worst man-made greenhouse-gas disaster in U.S. history, study says
We have Politicos who talk the talk better than anybody. Well funded, articulate, but dumb as rocks when it comes to technology issues.
I suppose they want to do good, but they usually screw that up due to ignorance. One of the leading CARB scientists here who wrote a paper that defined air pollution bought his diploma mail-order like a Russian bride. But the 'bride' screwed environment, not just the 'scientist'.
Some have already heard my thoughts on California's ineffective eco-posturing. We USED to be #1 in air pollution research, and we certainly spend the money (we have random smog checks set up on roadways and the toughest punishments for offenders in the US), but we lost our way. We allowed companies like Toyota and the fossil fuel industry to be our pimps and whore us out for a buck.
When you hear of the silliness going on in our Universities, ($750,000/yr public employees, bans on free speech), they are nothing compared to the failure of CARB today.
