Humorous to read this article with quotes like this one from our governor - "Electric vehicles are one of the state's biggest exports" - and the only auto maker that's mentioned here is Ford. Ford doesn't build a single vehicle in California. You know who does.

Well, he could've started with not pushing Tesla's HQ out of California. Big brain move by Gavin.

If Gavin is really serious about the environment, he would keep his promise to Stop the High Speed Rail. It will a net massive source of pollution for 50+ years & will be a massive sink for taxpayers forever!

Also, the rush to electrify "everything" will come back to haunt us as we have to both build more generation (not all will be "green") & create more need for High Voltage transmission/distribution lines to fall & start more wildfires!

Let's all stop panicking & focus on solving problems logically & with all solutions, not just the one "popular" solution.
