correct, for now. but like all dumb laws, they get broader in their scope. Next thing it will be mileage tax, and that will open up a new can of worms
NC has the mosts roads, and miles of roads in the usa

No lies in what you said to be honest.
The problem I see is that even when most people who responsibly purchased in their budget are now squeezed so tight from higher cost of food/gas etc, new taxes, increased taxes and fees on every utility available it is not their fault. I agree the ones who bought more house then they could afford before this mess made their own problems now that things cost more.
Energy might not be a "right" but it is not legal to live in a house without it or water so it is a necessity.
Absolutely correct. Stuff like this are just two line items on the long list as to why we got out.
Not necessarily. The number one requirement in our search for a place to flee from CA is that it be a solid red state. We wanted to live where people had values and morals similar to ours. This is from a 3rd generation native Southern Californian. We could not be happier since moving to rural Indiana.

This would go off the rails fast if we continued the discussion.
But mountain counties in CO are very good examples of the housing crises. For example, Steamboat Springs, a posh ski resort, cannot hire an HR director, regardless of the starting pay being $167,000. Reason? There is now ay one can survive in that place with $167,000. The loss of seasonal workers in ski resorts, etc., is a very good case study. I will leave it at that.
10 cents a kWh is criminal, let alone a dollar.
I think with EVs a mileage tax will be a standard in the USA, at least for states with inspections initially. I agree when it comes to taxes however this one subject I can not agree. EVs have to pay for the roads and should not be left to gasoline only drivers. IN fact EVs of the same size road wear is much greater due to the higher weight of the batteries. Maybe one day it will go by weight and mileage.
One thing for sure, not that I favor it but a mileage tax will be in place in many areas in the next decade to 15 years.
No one said it was, its just growing at a slower rate and mostly declining than the rest of the country.
California after 171 years just lost its first congressional seat 3 years ago. The stats are there.
Hardly a "town" and will always be the most populated state. Its land mass is the 3rd largest in the country beat only by Alaska which by far is massively larger than all states, Followed by the state everyone is moving to Texas. Still doesnt change the fact that CA population is declining either in real numbers or by growth and Californias next largest state competitor, Texas is growing by leaps and bounds..
Well, the prices of moving trucks out of CA are still sky high as they were in 2021 when I moved out.
So the demand must still be pretty high.
So the demand must still be pretty high.
I wonder if the ratio of people moving into California is heavily weighted with welfare recipients, homeless and the asylum seekers formerly known as illegals. They would not need moving trucks.
I just checked and it costs more than double to rent a truck to go from LA to Houston vs the other way around. The same 26" UHaul truck costs $2,187.00 going to California from Texas. Apparently they have a lot of trucks in Texas and a shortage in California.
When I moved my niece from Arlington, TX to Capitola, CA almost 3 years ago, there were a plethora of rental vans; they gave the biggest one for a great price.. No way I could drive it. My BIL can drive anything; he drove it like a dang Corolla.
A model 3 at ~4,000lbs only weights ~200lbs more than a Lexus ES hybrid… and is within the same ballpark as many other ICE or hybrid vehicles of the same size.
Depends on the vehicle, luxury & hybrid add weight, so will awd.
Fusion & Camry are both in the 3400-3500 range until hybrid & awd systems are added. Then they’re a bit over 3600lbs.
Pacific Gouge and Electric. PGE owns the politicians the Californians keep reelecting. Been that way forever.
Solar customers are already under a fixed contract for both buy and sell so no, it doesn't affect solar customers.
In my case they be would be correct. Wildly correct.
So far I've used 12 MW this billing year @ .53 cents a KWH plus connection fees - that would be a 6500 bill this year. (at min)
I paid 20K for the system 2.5 years ago.
Thats like a 3 year ROI. Every time they raise the price, the ROI gets better.
