Comment | 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. |
