Ok California. Now what?

Yes it will keep the Chinese commies working mining rare earth minerals for the overpriced batteries, and help them to crap all over the American economy. Which is probably why the America hating neomarxist Democrat party likes the idea so much.

What'd you do to get yourself in the moderator queue penalty box kiddo?
Republicans love to whine like children. America has more earth minerals than China. America’s big problem is big business wants max profits so they screw their own customers. Buy anything American made, in America, and it will cost more than those American businesses who export the same good. Milk is a great example, made in USA milk is more expensive than milk coming from Canada. Another case of Trump burning American farmers and citizens.
 
Trump has given American businesses 5 bailouts in less than 4 years. he used American tax dollars to support business. But yet we still pay these same businesses for their product. Trumps America! Pay twice!

So in your utopia, bailouts and assistance to businesses should require they give their product away for free?

Only the insane think that way.

Electric cars are overpriced junk powered by coal power plants. Democrats are idiots.
Carry on.
Electricity is not free and certainly not pollution free.
Power Plants do have scrubbers on them so maybe not as much CO2 pollution to produce the electricity to power all those electric cars.
Hydrogen powered cars are still a good non-polluting solution albeit extremely expensive.

And like solar panels, the batteries are toxic waste when they’re used up.
But there is a big industry to recycle batteries although as you say, there are toxic chemicals used and produced to recycle.
Hopefully, the government forces self-containment and ...
... prohibit shipping them to China where they dump the waste into rivers and the oceans.​

California Governor declares no more gasoline(internal combustion engines)-2035. Think about that....hard. From a state that has spent a billion dollars on a high speed rail line that hasn't moved a shovel full of dirt. Really? They say as California goes the rest of the country follows. Besides about 1 % of far left wing communist, who is asking for this? Has anyone noted the price of electric vehicles and not to mention they don't work? Again, who is asking for this? Ever wonder why the Democrats are desperately trying to disarm the public? If you can connect a few dots, it's to soften up for what's to come. Like, banning all ICE devices....right down to your lawnmower. Retroactively. All of them. No? Take a hard look around. It's happening before your very eyes in broad daylight......they aren't trying to hide it anymore. They don't have to. They have super majorities and can't be stopped. Watch, New York is next.
Remember when HOV lanes were going to save the planet? Lol, liberal wacko policy causing unnecessary traffic for miles. Massive amounts of fuel being wasted.

Electric cars? Good luck powering them in a brownout. California voters decided to eliminate precious fossil fuel power plants.

This will fail big time.

California is mandating all electric cars and at the same time shutting down their nuclear power plants. Stupidity.

I would take any V8 dodge, corvette or mustang muscle car over a stupid ass Tesla. Especially once you get into the supercharged V8’s cranking out 700+ hp off the lot.

For the money electric cars and motorcycles just aren’t worth it. Maybe that new Tesla roadster will change my mind, but I doubt it.

700 hp is child's play.
