Electric Car Advocates Accuse California Board Of Trying To Kill The Electric Car by GARKO NOVIS

EV (Electric Vehicle) advocates assert that the California Air Resources Board is seeking to crush the electric car - again. There is a proposal presently under review before the Air Resources Board state regulators would slice - from seventyfive thousand to as few as twenty seven thousand and five hundred - the number of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) automakers must make between 2012 and 2017. If this proposal passes, the big car manufacturers could place fewer than 2,500 non-polluting cars on the road between now and 2012. That is just three hundred more than Tesla Motors expects to produce in the next two. "That's disgusting," says Zan Dubin Scott of Plug In America an EV advocacy group. "That is a kidney punch to the ZEV program." California adopted the requirement in 1990 to dictate how many emissions-free vehicles car manufacturers must produce. The board has updated it four times, the last time being 4 years ago �" at which time it substantially slashed the amount of ZEVs that would be out on the road. EV advocates slammed the board for killing the electric car and now they say that they are trying to do it once again. The board responded that it remains determined to convert to pollution-free autmobiles but they say the technology isn’t there yet. They prefer to let the car manufacturing corporations push plug-in hybrids, compressed natural gas automobiles and other green tech while it completes research on batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. Regulators assert the ultimate goal doesn't change - beginning in 2018, 16 percent of vehicles sold in California must be zero emissions vehicles. Emphasizing plug-in hybrids and other alternative tech partial zero emission vehicles" at the present time allows California to begin addressing reversing climate change while still at the same time pressuring car manufacturing companies to devise non-polluting vehicles. "It's about lessening emissions and getting more vehicles out on the road that emit less toxic emissions," says board spokesman Leo Kay. "Our ultimate goal is the viewpoint that 100% zero emission vehicles are the future for California. It's only a matter of how we get there and giving the car manufacturing companies some flexibility." No one argues plug-in hybrids are a big step in the right direction. But ZEV advocates insist they shouldn't come at the expense of pollution-free electric and fuel cell cars. "They should be forwarding both," says Spencer Quong of the Union of Concerned Scientists Only by doing that can California meet its stated objective of lessening greenhouse gas emissions to eighty percent of 1990 level by 2050. Achieving that target requires putting 379,000 zero emission vehicles on the road by 2020, Quong says. In my own opinion, with the information I have and I will show you how to access I see the whole contentious situation is a comedy due to a number of factors… 1. hybrid electric vehicles are a waste of a substantial amount of money and they have no advantage for the planet when they are driven on the highways only city driving 2. with the simple but potent answers that we make available at Water4Gas the whole discussion is moot. We already have the solution to the whole mess, we just need is to move it out onto more highly visible distribution channels. WATER4GAS is offering information at a low price which folks can use at home to put together a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car runs on. The process makes bite sized particles out of the ones that the system uses as fuel. So the engine is able to use much more of the gasoline. By doing this you can reasonably expect to improve your gasoline mileage by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those molecules "musta" been pretty "blankin'" big in some systems before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can improve your gasoline mileage. It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
