TARNATION, them confounded hybrid cars!
The VodkaPundit is titillated by the angst that the hybrid car is imparting on the California legislature:
- Back in 1990s, California's dimwitted legislature passed a law requiring that by 2003, 4% of all new cars offered for sale have electric motors. The dimwits weren't concerned with whether the vehicles actually existed or if people even wanted them.
<...>
And that saves him almost $300 a month in gas. It's great for Just but bad for the roads he's driving on, because he also pays a lot less in gasoline taxes which fund highway projects and road repairs. As more and more hybrids hit the road, cash-strapped states are warning of rough roads ahead.
The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again.
