[DeTomaso] Wondering how California banning fosil fuel in 27 years will impact the long term value of our cars?

[Rob Dumoulin]

I did some IT work for a mid-western electrical company.  They had two
lakes separated by a dam (one high elevation and one low). In high-demand,
they would let the reservoir flow through the dam to generate power during
peak then pump it back into the higher reservoir at night when it was off
peak.

Kind of like an inefficient kinetic energy perpetual motion machine to even
out capacity vs. demand.  True statement that the first person or
individual that comes up with a viable no-loss electrical storage system
will be rich.

     There is also a bill coming up in November for Arizona to be using
     100 percent renewable electricity by a certain year.
     People fail to understand that when the sun doesn't shine and the
     wind doesn't blow, all of these nice renewable energy sources stop
     producing power. Until someone comes up with a battery storage
     system that can supply power to the grid after dark, having 100
     percent renewable electric power is only a dream. Of course if
     people are willing to put up with blackouts, then this might work.
     Until then, fossil fuel generated electricity is going to be here.
