California is already seeing the impact of climate change, with droughts, heat waves, and of course the unprecedented wildfires seen this summer. And even as the smoke from the fires has (mostly) cleared from the skies over much of the state, we know that we have to greatly reduce emissions to slow the rate of climate change

California is about to begin testing a new "point of sale" clean vehicle rebate plan in San Diego. Under the present rules, people who purchase a qualifying EV can get a check back from the state for up to $7,000, depending on their income level. California started indexing its rebate program to income level a few years ago to avoid the charge that the incentives the state was offering were mostly benefiting wealthy tech tycoons and Hollywood stars replacing their Porsches with Teslas.
