#4 In the coming Urban Utopia you will not need cars. Public transportation will take you everywhere you need to go. Rural areas will be reserved for food and green energy production.

All land is government land.

#6 Brilliant plan to remove the road congestion. I'm sure the power grid can handle the load... E everybody will be driving tractors.

#8 In the coming Urban Utopia you will not need cars. Public transportation will take you everywhere you need to go.

Take a ride on the San Diego Trolley sometime if you want to see how that public transportation will work. Spoiler alert: It ain't pretty and it ain't on time either.

The tree hugging idiots that haven't asked the basic question.

Where is all the ENERGY going to come from to charge and power the estimated 15+ Million E-vehicles?

A slightly deeper walk through of needed Energy

IF every one of the 15M fuel powered vehicles in CAL. was replaced today with an EV. The power needed by the E-vehicles on average is about 40 kWh a day to fully recharge a depleted battery.

That means around 15,000,000 EV's will need on Avg. 40 kWh per day. Which works out to about 600,000,000 kWh needed for EV's per day. Or about 219,000,000,000 kWh per year.

We haven't even discussed all the energy needed to mine the Rare Earth materials for the EV's and dispose of the HAZMAT generated waste & batteries.

SO Where is this power going to come from and not screw up their tree hugging Mother Earth environment somewhere?

#12 The people who win out of this initiative are the car dealers in Reno. That is the result of every piece of California stupid legislation - prosperity elsewhere.

Willing to bet the big winners will be The Elite who will be invested in and control the needed Energy Supply sources?

#14 I see California has Don't Move to Texas signs out. They are using the Uvalde Massacre to scare them home, but it is in San Francisco, so that is super classy.

#16 How long before California ban's people from moving out?

Or continue to tax people up to 5 years after they move out?
