New York mandates car sales be zero emission only by 2035.

I'm closing the myriad of EV threads. Please use this one instead.

Plus the fact that the taxes you all have to pay is causing droves of people to leave the state.

Best comedy line ever: "Droves of people" are leaving NY because of the EV mandate?:h

Just like the California myth of people leaving in droves? When equal number of people coming and relocating. Or people wanting to move to California but can't or people saying goodbye for the ninth time but did not or those who made headlines leaving then after a few months returned?

Equal numbers? Scratch that noggin some more.
CBS news
And the ones coming in don't appear to match the TAXABLE income of those leaving.
I guess it's a question of what is a "Drove". So,,,,, what is a drove?

.

Zero emission? That's a joke, with the US getting over 60% of it's electricity from Fossil fuel burning.
It's more like "No Emissions where we can see them". A useless move.

Someone brought up the topic of heat given off by solar panels some time back, and I've not really seen it mentioned much. But it does seem to me that the black solar panels will cause more heat to be held and radiated, than reflected. Square miles of solar panels could cause the atmosphere to retain more heat than if the ground had reflected more solar energy back into space.

Just a thought. I'm not against EV's per se, but the crux of the problem seems to be the generation, storage, and transmission of electricity in the amounts that may be necessary to supply an all EV system.

LOL, this month alone, 5-1/2 pages of posts. About 95% of which are 100% EV related and a few random Covid and Canada....priceless.

I used to be pretty certain, now I am totally convinced that you actually have nothing RV related to add to this site. As evidenced by your lack of contributing in the slightest from a "RV" standpoint.
What I really wonder though, why do you feel like you have re-post every tidbit of EV "news" that hits the internet?
Are your family friends and neighbors tired of hearing about it, so you found a new audience, or is this really just repeated passive aggressive stabs at the REST of the RV owners world who somehow can't quit using those stinky dead dinosaur powered contraptions?

I just have to consider Source and take it for what it is.
