I’m an electrician, and I know that the grid cannot handle the demand they are asking for. I also work for an oil refinery that produces natural gas. Electric stoves are expensive and will significantly increase your electricity bill compared to what it is now. The natural gas produced locally helps keep your gas bill low, and they are also trying to stop that process in California.
Alfonso M. – English
It is way too fast. The power grid won’t handle the load.

Politicians expect us to transition, but it’s not that easy. We are a minority, and with the way the economy is, we cannot afford to. We need balance. We need to work to survive. Without gas, we lose jobs, factories shut down, and businesses close due to drastic and rapid changes.
Dolores A. – English
The monetary maintenance of an electric vehicle is extremely expensive for low-income individuals and senior citizens, who will never be able to afford it. It’s out of the question. Please let us keep gas-powered cars.
Yamil C. – English
Give us time; the struggle is real. Do not destroy small businesses.
Wilfredo A. – English
They should think about our economy, not theirs. They should step out of their offices and face the reality we live in.
Guillermina A. – English
Full electric power is not the solution. It’s way too expensive. Replacing batteries, replacing gas stoves, replacing gas heaters, etc.
Bernardo C. – English
This was implemented without any input from the people! This is not true democracy!
Gerard S. – English
The IID in Imperial Valley won’t be able to provide energy. We already have too many power outages and pushing for electric vehicles will make the situation worse. Low income families are struggling to pay the electricity and middle class is starting to struggle, too.
Margarita R. – English
They are not prepared to demand these ridiculous changes that are destroying us. I have a landscaping company that I’ve run for 44 years. Do they think I’m going to be able to do gardens with fully electric machines? They are completely wrong. It would mean charging 60 batteries a day. You can’t operate like that.
