Nobody elected her yet she is making unpopular and impractical moves. This easily back fires on her come election day for simple facts: there isn't enough electricity nor materials for several million electric cars in NYS. It takes 20 years to repave a road in New York state. They going to replace the whole electric grid in 13?

This definitely isn't impractical. If anything it's a little unambitious. But that's fine, around the world people are in a haze of misinformation so these rules get put in place and then slowly tightened and brought forward as people realise it's not such a big deal.

America historically grew the grid at a much faster pace than we need to in order to accommodate EVs over the next decade. The only reason the grid stopped growing was because Energy Star regulations on appliances were so successful, that electricity use plateaued despite population growth. Electricity demand is the easiest aspect of the EV transition to deal with. Plus, you're ignoring the fact that this only calls for 48% of a manufacture's fleet to be EV. 20% can be plug-in hybrids and the rest may be whatever. That's less aggressive than many manufactures are pushing for internally.

  Energy supply is straightforward and solvable. I would like to see disposal regulations created now, or at least the costs of disposal built in to purchase price. Same for smartphone disposal: battery + electronic disposal.

  To add: it is a forcing function. We have 13 years to prepare for it. Without a deadline nothing will happen.

New York will never go Republican. No matter what she does. If she gets the boot its going to be from internal politics of her party. Alot of social engineering has gone to insure that New York will stay Democrat. To the point of trying to give votes to non citizens.
