Adding yet another in a long stream of seemingly never ending reasons to leave the Golden State, the bureaucrats have decided that over 15% of all cars sold in the state mush be zero emission by 2025.

Legislation by fiat.  Always the right way to go.  Now, as an aside, if the government genius's would allow efficient diesel engines to be sold, they would see immediate gains in milage.

Given the hyper liberal nature of California politics, it is also a suspicion that the government is purposely making transportation so difficult and so expensive that people will be forced out of it and onto government controlled mass transportation.   After all, what totalitarian government would want people to have access to cheap personal transportation?  To them, freedom is a bad thing, and must be stamped out as quickly as possible.

Count on the fact that if their plan for this is ever realized, you won't be able to afford a car, but they will, and theirs will be paid for by you, through higher taxes.
