How would red states get their welfare without California's tax receipts? I bet Washington pumps it into the federal coffers too.
This is an incredibly bad take concerning California 😂
are they the only blue state? If California became an independent country it would implode.
We are not talking about all blue states. CA's agricultural production is huge. The midwest would get tired of eating beef and corn and want some veggies, I imagine...that would be the end of your boycott.
Tremendous issues from Climate Change, hahahaa.
I was just in D.C. Seeing the amount of auto traffic going into and out of the city makes me wonder how we can ever expect to charge all of those vehicles. (I see charging "pumps" at Sheetz but nowhere else) And that was just one route into one city. And I saw notices on the beltway that you could travel in high occupancy, high speed lanes for up to $34.00 for 1-time access, depending on time of day and traffic.
Doesn't matter what you think, or even if man is the cause or not, shit is changing. Look at what Miami-Dade is already spending on tidal flooding. $$$$$$.
There ^^^ is the answer to your problem. Strike while the iron is hot.
Ok, #1 if Florida and other areas are in grave danger from CLimate change why are companies and people still investing and going there? Cmmmon man
The nice thing about EVs is that you can charge them at home, as long as you have a place to do it. I’ve had mine close to a year now and the only time I’ve ever charged outside my home was the day I bought it. Most people’s daily driving can be handled with home charging.
We will all have to have a 220v outlet wired would be my guess and there will be codes and all that mess with it. 110 takes to long from what I am told.
1) There are environmental concerns with all consumption. They’re less with EVs than gas powered cars. But they exist, yeah.
In CA you already have to have a 220 in new construction! My place doesn’t have that though, but I get by fine on 120V, even setting it just to charge at night when electricity is cheaper.
No they’re great questions and I’ve got no problem admitting the issues that EVs create. But they’ve got to be compared to the ICEs they’re replacing, not to some imaginary perfect transportation device.
The fire issues haven’t really been charging related, but are related to flaws in the battery manufacturing. And yes, there are a lot more electrons moving through the system than in Christmas lights. But, again, we need to compare this to our current reality, which is a bunch of cars carrying around a flammable liquid connected to a system that runs by igniting that liquid.
The biggest problem with lithium right now isn’t that we don’t have enough, but that we won’t be able to extract it quick enough. That should drive up prices, which should increase what reserves are considered mineable, but that’s a bumpy road.
