“Well, they’re out there a-having fun In that warm California sun” — 1964 song by The Rivieras
California has become an example of what a state looks like when it is controlled by a single party — in this case Democrats — who are trying to impose a green energy secular religion on their people.
State officials have banned the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035, but a preview of the nightmare that could occur in the near future is happening now.
Facing a heat wave this week and the high chances of rolling blackouts, Californians are being told to turn up the temperature on air conditioners to at least 78 degrees and not charge their electric cars on Sunday afternoons and evenings. If there isn’t enough electricity to charge the current number of electric cars in California (estimated by the office of Gov. Gavin Newsom to be “1 million plug-in electric cars, pickup trucks, SUVs and motorcycles”), how much confidence should Californians place in the availability of electricity in 2035 and beyond?
There are approximately 29 million cars, light trucks and motorcycles in the state. By some estimates, it will take 15 years to fully transition to all electric vehicles. Currently, reports the Associated Press, California has about 80,000 recharging stations in public places, “far short of the 250,000 it wants by 2025.”
