It is rare I find myself in agreement with goofA and in opposition with John Moore, but such is the life of a Rebup these days.

The politics of this are astute. The need for progress on this subject is real. The need for a big market to push the boundaries a bit is fundamental to progress.

The CA market is big enough to influence the economics of the automobile industry. The people in CA are willing to experience some pain in the discovery process of new solutions. The Repub party needs some evidence of sincerity on this subject.

I personally do not believe the solution is complete or adequate, but I also do not believe that there is a magic bullet right now to this problem, and that this is going to require multiple real trials to discover things like price sensitivity, cost elasticity, market acceptance, and measured improvements based on real trials.

Yeah for CA!
