For three years I drove a Chevy S-10 total electric vehicle. 
During that time I used only $150 in gasoline on average A YEAR
for my total business and personal road travel.

This vehicle was never in the shop during those three years. 
Furthermore, there was no need for oil changes or service at all.

All of this was done with General Motors 1998 technology.  It is
now nearly 10 years later and CARB has done nothing to serve the
public interest in requiring or encouraging further development of
this technology.

Your failure is well known and your motivations highly
questionable.  Your performance overall has been disgraceful and
it is simply unfortunate that we are not able to legally hold you
individually responsible for your failures.

Obviously, the only alternative is for each of you to accept
individual responsibility and accountability for your own
decisions and those of the members of CARB who are no longer
playing decision-making roles by taking action to encourage and
require more ZEVs on California Highways and to offer this
alternative to the public now that oil is over $100 and gasoline
approaching $4 a gallon.  All of this has been foreseeable since
the "ancient" times of the Arab Oil Embargo.  Yet, what have you
people been doing.  How many people have also suffered and dield
from the medical consequences of your lack of supporting Zero
Emission Vehicles.  I really don't see how you can live with
yourselves.  

Please, do the right thing for the public good for a change.
