The change over to electric absolutely can and should happen, however the complexities and intricacies of completely changing how we power our vehicles is way too vast to set some arbitrary timeline to. In order to meet that timeline we would need to see the collective efforts of the public and private sectors on a scale that’s probably never been seen before in history, and while vaguely possible I just don’t see that happening for obvious reasons (most notably the glacial pace and incredible lack of efficiency when it comes to government). I’d be more than happy to change over to electric, the Alta was far and away the best motorcycle I’ve ridden to this day and I did everything I could to buy one before they were all gone, but there’s serious concerns that need to be addressed if we were going to adopt on a broad scale. As an engineer it’s my job to think about the “what if”, maybe it isn’t yours but it is mine and that’s how I’m wired to think, every grand plan needs to have a grander path for execution or else it’s just a pipe dream. Very few can marry those two things, take Elon Musk for example, and Newsom sure as hell isn’t the one who’s going to be able to do it and he won’t accomplish it by making outrageous proclamations then circumventing checks and balances to put it into law via executive order.
Maybe so, the freeway seemed a lot less crowded today, thanks!
Send us a post card this winter when your tracks are covered in snow, bitches...
My buddy just moved back here after spending 15 years living in LA. He said lots of areas there are shitholes.
Finally visited Orange to see A1 in 2016. I enjoyed the few days there but I’m sure glad I don’t live there. Could not get over the amount of traffic all day every where we went.
The weather is probably the number one draw for people. The temps are just consistent in SoCal from day to day. I definitely think there are better places to live but it’s not like Cali is in the bottom 10.
I like the seasons and I think 2-3 months of cold weather is acceptable. Makes you appreciate the days when it is warm outside much more.
Had a co-worker move out there to work in the “Industry”.
He has 4 roommates and I doubt in his current position he could ever afford a home there. To each their own.

I had this talk with a few friends. I mentioned on the note of, "look, you're leaving because of something. Something where you're from changed and you got what you saw as a better opportunity to move. If you don't like where you're at, why would you vote in a way that turns the thing you're using to have a better life into the thing that made your life harder and more painful?
Do as the natives do. There's a reason something is nicer. Keep doing whatever is currently being done to maintain that nice thing you have."

And, they get lots of free shit from truly legal citizens who have to work to give the legal illegals free shit.
I'm not sure if there is any reasonable argument against converting our transportation system from primarily internal combustion-based to electric based.
Building the electrical infrastructure to handle that shift is a big hurdle. But when the government says it has to be done, it creates more of an incentive for private (and quasi-private) organizations to spend the money to engineer the solutions.
I wonder how many electric motors that run hot will ignite the unmanaged brush in CA and WhyTF can't we buy more fire-fighting planes and have better plans in place to avoid these yearly fires. I'm certain that my exhaust w/o spark arrestor on my offroad bike would kill me if I had to rely on it for a source of fire.
But as logic goes out the window, maybe I should buy stock in Duracel and Energizer who might power these things that some call dirtbikes. Ecigs too! Nothing like riding an electric motorcycle down the road with an e-cig in your mouth with the fake tata woman on the back.
"Under this relatively new concept, electric cars would store and dispatch electrical energy stored in networked vehicle batteries which together act as one collective battery fleet for ‘peak shaving’ (sending power back to the grid when demand is high) and ‘valley filling’ (charging at night when demand is low)
When the electric utility would like to buy power from the network, it holds an auction. The car owners or leasing companies would be able to define the parameters under which they will sell energy from their battery pack."

"I'd rather walk than drive an EV."
Sure you would.
