California is a Confusing Place

@porwest We really need to just get rid of California from our country. They’re like a virus infecting a computer.

@moffittjc It really has gotten that bad. I am not sure how much worse it could get from here. That being said, I am convinced it can and WILL get worse.

This just goes hand in hand with part of what I said in the post, that "liberal logic is simply having an idea. But not thinking about what really happens if they do it. Or how to deal with what they have decided is the right thing to do." In other words. Liberal logic is fraught with contradictions and unintended consequences. The liberals want green technology which to their mind is the battery. What they don't consider is the environmental impact of mining the materials needed to make the battery, the contaminants that are byproducts of the manufacturing process and so on and so forth. They don't consider that the two primary resources used in the production of electricity are coal and natural gas—fossil fuels. At the same time, democrats have long opposed building new power plants because they dislike all of the things that generate the most efficient supply of power. Coal, natural gas, and nuclear. Sure, they like wind and solar. The problem is that they can't seem to come to terms with the fact that neither of these sources produce significant enough power to make a dent, and also require much more space to implement these ideas... Which by the way cuts into their concerns about interrupting certain habitats and wildlife. It's contradictions and unintended consequences like this that the left create all the time, and I can never fully understand if they do it on purpose to create problems that they can tell us they are working hard to solve, or if they just aren't thinking things through. I think it is a combination of both actually. Either way, to my knowledge there has been no talk in California about adding to the power grid, and I am not even sure they (California) has even given much thought to whether or not automakers can supply all of these electric cars, and what will happen to the gas powered ones that will eventually be banned from the existing fleet as well. NEITHER has California proposed any infrastructure plans to ensure that there will be sufficient charging stations available. The democrats in California said one thing. "Ban the sale of all gasoline powered cars in the state." But beyond that, that was the end of the story. They have no idea what it actually means or what that actually looks like.

Many, many, many, many, many moons ago. Yes.

@porwest Yes sad really they trashed it

@RebeccasFarm At some point hopefully things can turn around over there. But at this point I am not sure how. Meanwhile Florida is booming and thriving.

Here too. It will be interesting to see how viable they actually are at some point with less resale value and other factors.

@porwest There's a lot of wind in California. Those wind turbines are expensive though.

@LindaOHio ...and inefficient unfortunately.

At some point I think we just have to come to terms that the best sources of power generation are from fossil fuels and nuclear and focus on that, otherwise we are just unfortunately chasing our tails here.

I am not going to disagree, only to say that most Americans at least know what it generally means. There are still rules and limitations, as it should be. But we also acknowledge it is fragile, and therefore it must be protected.

@porwest And that's reality and it's not debatable. The citizenry have adapt it.
