California just shy of 100% powered by renewables for first time

Major but fleeting milestone reached Saturday, largely with power from solar farms off Interstate 10 freeway. Experts say feds are slowing permanent full renewables for state.

No inspections in Michigan

And ICE vehicles already pay the tax when buying fuel, tax is added into the price per gallon

Stroke of a pen and you have inspections. My point, all vehicles now have a computer/GPS that keep track of miles driven, the technology is already there.. When there are enough EV's the government will demand a milage tax and ICE cars will be included. They will be double taxed to drive them off the market faster.

Time to dust off the Model T… no speedo.

Or, maybe convert one to electric?

I occasionally see a yellow 1914 speedster like this driving around my neighborhood on nice days. I love seeing these machines kept roadworthy and used.

It is a lot of fun and back before I started clocking in at 3:30am for work I drove it maybe once a week on my commute.

I did have to add an electric fuel pump as one stretch of road is steep enough to prevent gravity flow from tank to carb... although driving up backwards works and entertains!

It would be a fun project to make an electric Speedster.

Probably way over powered for the 20hp chassis.

You really believe that? They are just saying they produce enough in theory to offset the fossil fuels they use every night. Still using a ton of non-renewable energy, but making themselves feel good about it.

I guess many wonder what the ***** admin. is doing for the rest of the country. I am sure a vested green California gets the perks it needs to help promote a policy with their "green energy showroom" Bad example of common sense evolution when you just add debt to cover the costs....... Ordinary citizens of CA can't afford it (so if they can, they move out)

Sounds about right actually! Big brother LOVES adding more taxes. Why not double tax the ICE cars? Right? The way things are going right now this wouldn't surprise me one bit unfortunately.

And I'm sure the state government would get some $$$ out of inspections if they started that program up too.

All this is one more reason why people will fight the government tooth and nail... If you don't, they'll take take take. They'll never stop, they don't have anyone to stop them.

The government needs a reset button... and a 100K Salary cap across the board. Get the greedy people out and get people that give a crap in.

$100K is too high...$75K sounds about right

Do you believe it? And when do all the power plants shut down?

Jim Jones would be jealous of the green revolution and it's believers.
