I am pro green, pro electric vehicle and i do think the
government has an important role to play in implementing
legistation to help move toward low - zero emissions
alternatives. HOWEVER....
the time frame proposed in this regulation simply is not
workable at this time. Much of the california exports
moving out of its ports are coming from areas that are a fairly
significant distance from the ports and there currently is not even
any commercially available zero emissions trucks that could make
those moves. Its not realistic. The idea is
great.. and i think we will get there.. and its good to be
ambitious and push this, but there needs to be some realistic
understanding of the logistics and the current technology and and
available options for zero emissions trucks.
We need to make changes and we need to push to make these
changes as soon as we can.. but please. realize the proposed
regulation is too aggressive and not realistic.. keep the idea
there, but the time frame is too short for ZERO emissions when
those vehicles dont even exist yet for the logistic situation we
have.
Please tap the brakes a bit.. slow down and take a better look
and come up with a better, more realistic plan... not
this
