Subject | Electric car goal |
Comment | The technology IS available to mass produce electric cars at reasonable prices - see "Who Killed the Electric Car?" But like all new technologies, there are startup costs and corporations are legally required to maximize profits for their shareholders. Every new scientific study of climate change shows the impacts are worse than previously thought. The State of California, the most populous in the USA, can help save the world from the worst scenarios by both mandating electric car production in quantities that matter and offering incentives to manufacturers. Auto mechanics and gas station owners should also be helped to train for and find new business opportunities, especially in renewable energy. I know the State is in a budget crisis but the threat to civilization must be met. |
