Poor people aren't buying new cars. They're buying 10 year old cars that can still run on gas, be hybrids, or be electric. The same situation as now.
> - Battery production is already a highly polluting operation.
So is gas, "both ways". EG: exploration, drilling, refining, shipment, and actually burning it. Not to mention spills. This is a straw man.
> - I'm predicting many individuals buy gas generators as backups for their home, given how inconsistent power availability will be in California.
This is a PG&E problem.
Don't hate progress, dude. New cars must not pollute in 15 years time. You could raise a kid to have a better understanding of the environment than a lot of people in that same time. This is a long time.
