We all know what to do when the special election happens! Hey, it's a start.
If I remember correctly, the first version of SB100 that they tried to pass did not have any limitations on the number of vehicles, and Davis put the big red veto stamp on it. The next version had the 500-a-year limitation and was passed. Then SB1478 (is that the right number?) was passed so that people who had already registered prior to SB100 would be allowed to participate in the program too.
Having SB100 is a lot better than not having SB100. If you hate SB100, your problem is with CA's smog legislation in general and that's where you should focus your energy. I'm sorry, spin it any way you want it, but SB100 is a Good Thing. I'll grant you that it could be better for us, but it is a hell of a lot better than what we had before: nothing. It isn't perfect, but it does not suck.
The great state of California is letting 500 of us a year with modern engines be, essentially, smog exempt. That's up from a previous record in 2000 of ZERO. As in NO ONE.
But then I've always been a glass-is-half-full kind of guy.
