GMC Hummer EV
One of these passed me going in the opposite direction yesterday. It was lightly camouflaged but it looked pretty cool. It was likely headed to the GM Proving Grounds near me.

Beast of a truck. Many innovative features. Tesla Cybertruck has serious competition.

I don’t agree with banning gas stations to force people to switch but it’s the reality we are faced with. The EV revolution has begun.

The EV revolution is underway, though. It's pretty amazing. |

The movement could grow too. An organization called the Coalition Opposing New Gas Stations has been pushing to stop construction of gas stations throughout all of Sonoma county. And California last year said it would ban the sale of new gas-powered cars starting in 2035. Guess what? It won’t be the windmills and solar panels that will provide reliable and ultra clean energy. They can’t replace and can’t keep up with our current and future demands. Not going to happen, no matter who tells you what lies. It will be the next generation nuclear power stations which have always been the answer. With a certain degree of inherent risk of a Chernobyl, 3 mile island and Fukushima events, albeit much less chance of that with newer generations, they will provide energy 365 days a year, 24 hrs a day, temperature, wind and sun independent. Unless there is completely new technology that appears such as cold fusion. Last edited by PHC1; 03-04-2021 at 05:26 PM. |

The ban was for "additional" gas stations. They seem to have plenty of capacity already. Last edited by Still-One; 03-05-2021 at 09:56 AM. |

Why ban gas future gas stations at all? Why not allow future gas stations with both pumps and chargers? Is the answer not clear? Is this also not a ban of gasoline cars? https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/artic...s-15591505.php |

By way of example, a town just two away from mine decided more than a decade ago to no longer allow as a new "permitted use" gas stations, car dealers, or any business with a drive up access including banks, drug stores, or coffee shops. Of course, the existing businesses are pre-existing permitted uses and are mostly thriving. They're not being driven out of town. And none of this has precluded new development. The sky is not falling, folks.
