Subject | Motorcycles are already the solution |
Comment | As an aerospace engineer I can assure you there is so much flawed data in the proposal it would take me months to respond to it all. My 5 gas powered motorcycles achieve 45-50 mpg and most motorcycles are ridden as a hobby during good weather. Their emissions are lower than the emission required to make the batteries in all-electric motorcycles. Li ion batteries, hydrogen, and SAF are many decades from being created "green", if ever. Stop the lies and deception, pass a law that requires an analysis of all the embedded energy and its method (and source) of production. This legislation out-sources work to China, the most prolific violator of the environment. This legislation adds stress to an energy grid in CA that can't tolerate it. This proposal forces me to use a product I don't want to use, this is tyranny. This proposal forces me to accept a lower quality of life. This proposal adds to the already excessive burden of living in CA - high property taxes, high elect bill, high gas bill, high water bill, high crime, high state taxes, excessive regulation everywhere, high insurance rates... The proposal must me considered with the many other CA policies that deter from a good quality of life. Everyone single person I know in CA is leaving or has a plan to leave. I have a plan to leave and this proposal just accelerated my plan. I intend to move to a free state (Texas, Florida, S. Dakota...) and take my large salary with me. This policy will have no impact on the environment and only detract from an already poor quality of life. You are eliminating the middle class in CA, you'll be left with Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and a whole lot of Mexicans. CA has been on a path of self destruction and it's honestly probably better to accelerate that destruction, then maybe others can come in and fix it. Going electric is the same as the CFL lightbulb trap, but there's nobody honest in government to admit that. |
