This is in line with why are we replacing fossil fuels with solar.
It was never a quality of life play, it's some sort of altruistic effort / dumbness deciding to be the suckers kind of thing.
California for sure cares about them Californians who'd be alive 150 years from now more than those who are alive right now. Actually not even that, given that the atmosphere is one for everybody, they care more about Indians and Chinese who'd be alive 150 years from now than Californians who struggle and are 'alive' right now.

Like the solar panel industry which was jumpstarted with immense subsidies by Germany, EU and the US and now is 99% a Chinese industry manufacturing product. Amazing. And EVs will be too, once the smoke clears we'll be lucky if we are left with just the brand and the cult of personality of Tesla, while everything else will be manufactured in China.
