I received an email from Felix Kramer of Calcars regarding the
upcoming vote on the 27th of March, 2008, and it doesn't sound
good. He seems to think that the California Air Resources Board is
going to WEAKEN the California ZEV regulation (it is not clear to
me at this time why he thinks this, but he apparently does). I am
outraged. Even though I have never even a plug-in hybrid or
electric vehicle, I am still outraged because I think electric
vehicles hold a lot of promise for a variety of reasons. What I
would like to know is why you would weaken this mandate regarding
electric vehicles, especially in light of the movie, 'Who Killed
The Electric Car'? I certainly hope that this vote does not turn
out to be a disastrous one. I think that alternative energy (and I
include electric vehicles in this category) have been at somewhat
of a disadvantage historically, over the years, so I think they
need as much support as we can give them. Thank you.
