Comments on: California’s green jobs start young http://blogs.reuters.com/environment/2009/03/17/green-california-jobs-start-young/ Global environmental challenges Thu, 23 May 2013 21:34:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Michael http://blogs.reuters.com/environment/2009/03/17/green-california-jobs-start-young/comment-page-1/#comment-338749 Michael Thu, 19 Mar 2009 19:07:16 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/environment/?p=12315#comment-338749 It saddens me that we've become "idiocracy." Someday, when California mandates EV's and there's no electricity because we don't have any power plants and everyone is sitting in the dark, someone will spout, "We have electric cars. They're what we need." How are our so called best & brightest falling for all of this? Think about what it takes to make batteries and add that to your environmental costs. Then think about what it takes to make new cars constantly. Anybody that was dead serious about the environment would want everyone to drive the modern equivalent of a 1984 Mercedes Diesel and drive it for 35 years. THAT is environmental. Not a new Prius every 4 years. It saddens me that we’ve become “idiocracy.”
