ARB was railroaded by the automobile corporations into dropping the
Electric Vehicle program it had adopted.  Evidence concerning the
advancement of battery technology was ignored.  Hype regarding
unproven "fuel-cell" technology was blandly accepted.  Promises
from the automakers regarding advancement of ZEV technology was
believed.  It is now years later.  Fuel cell technology is still
extremely expensive, there is no infrastructure in place, the
technology is years away from commercialization, it is four times
less efficient than energy storage in NIMH batteries, and there
are still thousands of ELECTRIC VEHICLES, built by kicking and
screaming automakers, on the road today.  Moreover, the
consequences of global warming have become so apparent that even
politicians have admitted it's real.  When is ARB going to get
real?

Stop playing around with the future of humanity, with the future
of our planet!  The evidence that EV technology can meet 90% of
driving needs in California is overwhelming.  The infrastructure
is already in place (the electric grid).  All it will take is
political WILL.  Do you have any?
