“I’m a huge EV guy. Like, I think that’s a great technology. But in reality, there is a lot of work that needs to be done to meet these goals from the infrastructure side. If we flip a switch tomorrow and get rid of all fossil fuel vehicles, all fossil fuel electric generators, the state would be an immediate blackout,” says Mr. Flora.
Siyamak sits down with Heath Flora, an Assemblyman from the Central Valley and a member of the California Problem Solvers Caucus. He shares his insights on how California is transitioning to zero emissions, and what obstacles and challenges we’re facing.
“If we flip a switch tomorrow and get rid of all fossil fuel vehicles, all fossil fuel generators, the state would be in immediate blackout,” says Mr. Flora. “Our neighbors are doing all this fossil fuel burning ... and then we import that energy to make ourselves feel better, right? But in reality, we don’t have enough green energy produced within the state for the supply,” Mr. Flora says.
