California can lead the nation in breaking away from our gasoline-centric approach to transportation by promoting electric vehicles (EVs) and phasing out internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles over the next four decades.
Why is this important?
I believe that climate change is the greatest challenge that our species has ever faced. California can set an example for the nation, as well as the world, by passing legislation that reduces the sales of ICE vehicles by 20% each decade over the next four decades. The state can promote a solar-based charging station infrastructure, perhaps through a public/private partnership, to support EVs as an alternative mode of transportation. If not in my home state of California, then where?
