It is imperative that you vote to direct the auto makers to make
more electric cars by 2017, not less!  2010 should be your goal.

Only with electric cars (not hybrids) will be reduce greenhouse
gasses to a low enough level - fast enough - to make a difference
in our planet's ability to support life. 

Be bold.  Do not cave-in to the auto makers' whining about
profits.  The 2 billion cost that is quoted for compliance, is
only 200 million a year for 10 years.  Divide that by the number
of auto manufacturers, and it is a figure that is not 
unreasonable.

Our family will NOT but another car - any car- until we can buy an
all electric car.  We drive a 1992, 1991, and 2003.  We are
counting on being able to buy an ZEV in the next 3 years.

CARB must demand ZEV of the auto makers.  They will not do it
without our pressure.  Be leaders, not whimps.  Stop thinking with
your purses.  Electric IS viable.  Many people are waiting for
ZEVs.  Most households have 2 or more cars.  One car can certainly
be the around-town errand and commuter car.  The other can be for
road-trips.

Don't expect hybris to be the solution.  Carrying around all that
extra weight (in addition to litium-ion battaries) is just plain
senseless.  

Please be leaders, be bold, and think about the impact your
decision will have on future generations.  No harm will come of
mandating ZEV (sooner and in higher quantity).
