The thread "EPA seeks to prohibit race cars" down in the lounge started back in 2016 became a good place for links to reporting on all the pending ban talk on the internal combustion engine back when it was initially just the federal Government pushing for it through the EPA domestically.

Here is an Interesting article originally posted on page 1 of that thread that was written way back in 2009:

Kind of ironic that one of the main birthplaces of hot rodding is the first to go all electric.

So what happens if the current governor is voted out of office and the new governor decides an all electric car future for CA just isn't possible?

California cannot even keep its current electric commitments given the rolling black outs.

The infrastructure and technology to go electric is and remains the primary issue.

Supposition - - - - Before too long, will it become known to the State of California that electric vehicles can or will cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm...... just like most all other products and some foods do according to their investigations??

On a self centered side...In 15 years I'll be 82 and if I live that long and won't really care. In the mean time the automakers are going full steam ahead and I'm sure batteries, charging, range etc will also progress at a breakneck pace. I love the upcoming performance EV's in the pipeline.
