I have a neighbor that lives in the L.A. area but owns a home here. He has a friend that owns a Tesla and drove it up here one day, he looked at me and asked "Where's the plug to charge my Tesla." I responded with "There ain't one," he then pulled out a 120 volt charger and said "I'll have to use this." I'm not sure if any one knows this but ... A 110-120 volt electric car charger gets you about 5 miles of driving per hour of charging at 20 amps (Holy Sh*t). He charged his car for 30 hours and still had to stop 1 more time to charge before he could make the 150 mile drive home.
So the other day said neighbor and I were talking when the thing about CA banning incandescent bulbs came up and how important they are for the tort people. He responded with how inefficient they are and that the ban HAD to happen to prevent people from using more electricity than they need to. You may not know the electrical grid here in CA sucks and can't keep up with electrical demand quite often. I pointed out how inefficient the Tesla and other electric cars are and why can you have a Tesla (That I have to subsidize as a taxpayer) that requires massive amount of electricity but I can not have a Light Bulb. I pointed out this Hypocrisy and his response was "Electric cars make sense when you live in a big city." My response to that was "Incandescents make sense if you need Heat as well as light."
So you see where this is going ... He had no reasonable answer to why we can not have incandescents, but was adamant about how important the Energy Inefficient Cars were.
I am not trying to be political here just pointing out a gigantic point of Hypocrisy.
