California can do whatever they want. Who cares?

Secession is the way. You're catching on.

Battery-powered electric-vehicles fail as a solution to carbon-release because they draw on the electricity powergrid and then have attributable carbon-release.

In fact as more and more electric-vehicles draw on the powergrid then the powergrid will run at near full power for longer time periods of the day. And as the powergrid runs at near full power for longer time periods of the day, then the percentage of green-energy in the powergrid will decrease.

The only way for electric-vehicles to be a solution to carbon-release is with a maximum weight limit on non-commercial vehicles

This is not even close to accurate. Power plants are much more efficient at turning carbon fuels to useable energy than internal combustion engines. We're much better at capturing heat than kinetic energy.

Incremental improvements don't solve carbon-release.

Here is a link to a scientific paper:

Carbon capture works far better for a small number of sources than for millions of them. California also has other reasons besides carbon emissions to move to EVs, given how many valleys California cities are in, and how much air pollution they still have.

Thank goodness I will be long retired by then if still alive, and no longer driving.

Just own it dude. This is your garbage. It's right-wing gospel and it is the fabric of GOP.
Wow. Another brand-new forum member who just joined a few minutes ago. And he already knows how to use fonts (well, the thinks he does), how to present Youtube videos, etc. And he's telling us quite a lot about what "the right" thinks, what the GOP is doing, etc.... all learned in the last few minutes?

Did you, by any chance, learn these things on this forum a while ago, when you used a different account and a different name? What did you call yourself earlier today, or perhaps yesterday? And why did you have to get a new account and a new name?

The issue with non-commercial vehicles is the weight of the vehicles.

Less vehicle weight results in less attributable carbon-release.

I suggest a 3000 pound weight limit on non-commercial vehicles but I would probably be bumped up 3500 pounds weight limit.

How would a 3500 pound weight limit on non-commercial vehicles hurt California ?

The average ev is heavier because of all the batteries

A Tesla 3 is over 4,000 pounds.

Also heavier means more tire wear, Guess where the rubber in the tires comes from-oil and petroleum.
