California has spent $449 million over the course of 7 years to get people to buy zero-emission cars. But the subsidies haven’t done much to help, people just aren’t buying electric cars yet.
Last year of the 2 million cars sold in the state, just 75,000 of them were pure-electric and plug-in hybrid cars. Currently, there are just 315,000 electric or hybrid cars registered in the state out of 26 million cars and light trucks.
That’s a pretty small number, but the state is still pushing forward in its fight to save the world so it’s pushing a bill that would boost the rebate program from $449 million to $3 billion.
CA’s gay and their shit’s all retarded.
Gov’ Brown Seems Bent On Socialism at any Cost !
I Don’t Want To Live in A Failed Socialist State , When California is so Rich in So Many Things … There’s No Need to Fail – We Can Change The Government !!!
Adam Smith spinning in grave
Leftist ideas are so popular that California has to pay people to participate in them. That is all you need to know about socialism.
DO IT!!!!! … the sooner, the better!
… can’t wait until you collapse your ‘Utopia’ … the sooner we are rid of your unicorn fairy dust fantasies the better the world will be
I feel for my friends that are stuck in that commie shithole and can’t afford to get out. Those liberal scum sucking maggots are going to suck them dry.
$3 Billion coulda been spent on a subway system.
That takes cars OFF the roads, which really is the goal isn’t it.
What Doc said. It’s a goddamn shame.
Here are a few articles that demonstrate the damage created by Lithium – Ion batteries.

Why only go 1/2 way, California? Show your commitment to saving the planet; give EVERYONE a free electric car! Do it! You know you want to.
True to libtard mentality: “If it doesn’t work, do it even more!”
Did you know, I didn’t, there were electric cars in the early 1900’s?

Kalifornia, PLEASE, secede, NOW!
So the state that barely has enough electricity to make it through a summer day without brownouts wants their subjects charging mass numbers of electric cars off the same electrical grid. Can’t say I’d agree that’s a smart move.
Whut! Aren’t they burning enough coal??
When trying to explain the Big Picture to a Liberal, you’ll get the same look from him as you will from yer dog when showing him a magic trick!
commiefornia, escaped in 2004, never looked back…
Yeah, buy the matchbox car, then you get the super extra special tax treatment, because you’re not paying for the roads with fuel tax.
California, where there is never anything they won’t tax.
Hell, they tax cars that are sitting in your garage not even registered.
The commies just can’t seem to piss The People’s money away on their hair-brained schemes fast enough, can they?
Subsidies for expensive electric cars and power stations is just welfare for rich liberals.
Same with preferential treatment with parking spaces for the same.
Oh. BART in a tunnel…
Aren’t they pissing away enough money on the Bullet Train?
