Published | Video Starts at 52:37

Another state question, what do you think about the California decision not to allow vehicle sales other than electric vehicles by 2035? I think it's silly to constantly set goals that most of the time the elected officials who are setting the goals aren't even going to be there because we have term limits in California to see them through. And what we ought to be a lot more focused on are what are the near term steps we can take to make sure that we have additional renewable energy, more electric cars in the marketplace. (52:37–52:49)
