Dear Sir/Madam,
              I was dismayed to today learn of the proposed
changes to the Z.E.V. mandate, which fly in the face of both
public opinion  (I suspect) and economic prudence. A cursory
examination of the field will reveal that the production of 'pure'
E.V.'s is moving forward at unprecedented pace, and moreover that
it is Californian firms (notably Tesla Motors) who are currently
at the forefront. 

Big auto are well aware which way the wind is blowing, and that
internal combustion (which is after all 100 year-old technology!)
is on the verge of being superceeded. 
Farsighted public policy now will ensure huge future competitive
advantage for the state of California when the tipping point is
reached, which, although difficult to imagine, may be as little as
3-5 years from now. 

Aside from the unrivalled green credentials and international
attention this would attract, it would be prudent to nurture what
will be among the 21st centuries largest industries.

Yours Faithfully

Adam Merza
