Well, I'm not particularly addicted to petroleum. My current ride is a Prius hybrid and I also have an old Lexus, <60,000 miles in over 10 years and still in excellent condition. My residential solar system currently generates more power than I can use, but hopefully my M3 on order will take care of that after it arrives and the Lexus will go. I live in the high desert in place you probably never heard of and my entire acre of garden, front and back, is watered off a drip system. I'm trying my best to save the world, but I detest being constantly taxed and fee'd to death for doing so.
The pols in this State (and most others) are the ones that are addicted, addicted to more taxes and 'fees' as they now call them for 'programs'. Oh, and to top it off, the CPUC in Sacramento is in bed with the utility companies IMO. Edison gives me something like 3 cents/kW for over-generation and then sells it to my next door neighbor for 10 times that so he can run his pool pump for 10 hours/day. And since people like you and I are doing our fair share to save the world, perhaps they can fire a few people employed to worry about how much I'm polluting as we switch out oil and carbon for the sun. But you know that won't happen either.
Sure, I'll vote for people that want to save the environment but not those that will turn around and stick it to me. Let them raise the gas tax another 50 cents a gallon. Apparently, it didn't didn't hurt tobacco sales when they taxed tobacco to death and a pack of cigarettes hit $5. And I don't smoke either. If you want to stimulate EV sales, make registration free - don't tax it! And no, I don't believe my EV brake dust will wear out the roads. Just make and deliver my GD M3. I'm cooked, done, and stick a fork in me!
