Good luck with that

It's perfect - please your target voters in 2020 at ZERO cost to you or anybody else, because the date can just slide out with the flick of a pen by some future governor (who is probably in college right now).
And while we are at it, I hereby announce that I will buy every HT member an out of state tag of their choice for the 2035 hunting season (of course this commitment is subject to my unlimited right to future extension, modification, or withdrawal of the offer)

In other news: The mass migration from Cali to Bozeman expected to accelerate until at least 2035...

Also convenient that the power used to make then can be done with dirty Chinese coal and the power used to run them via electricity can come from US coal, but besides that, this sounds great.

Exactly though mostly natural gas
These new fangled automobiles, the so called horseless carriages, are just a fad. We'll never give up our carriages & horses. Huzzah!
Electricity will never replace kerosene for lighting America!
6.5 Creedmor? Who needs that when we have the 6.5x55 Mauser!
Switch from coal steam power to diesel engines? Do we want the Kaiser to win!?

No problem....
Just try to get a permit to mine the amount of plutonium it would take to run a flux capacitor these days.
Thanks, Obama.

Just pick it up when you go fill your Hanford Elk Tag
But think...If all things were equal and you could.....would you go electric?
I wouldn't turn down a TESLA straight trade for a passenger car.

Which law banned horses and carriages again?
I’m not a Luddite, but this is just silly.

Meh, just bans the sale of them, not the use. Average age of car on road is 12 years and increasing. So a new gas car bought in 2034 will probably be around for a peasant to drive it in 2050. These dates are so far into the future as to be irrelevant.
I guess it's possible (likely?) we'll see a real breakthrough in battery/fast charging to make range anxiety go away. I certainly hope so. Or maybe a universal battery switching station. Sleeper tech like hydrogen fuel derived from a drastic expansion in energy from nuclear could be possible. But nobody is really working on that so fixing the battery problem is probably more feasible. Anybody on here work in these industries?

The govt didn't have to mandate those - they won on their own account. I am fine with free markets choosing technology, not so much the govt.

Hydrogen economy on the back of modern safer passive nukes is the real answer, but the greens don't like nuke so no chance.

OSU spinoff NuScale passes major regulatory milestone as feds sign off on reactors’ safety | Newsroom
CORVALLIS, Ore. – NuScale Power, founded by Oregon State University Professor Emeritus José Reyes during his time at OSU, has marked a major regulatory milestone on the way to supplying power plant developers with small modular reactors designed by the company.
It's coming either way. I believe I read that NuScale is working with an Idaho power company to get a couple modules set up in southern Idaho for the trial run.

Don't be so sure of that. Govt chose diesel over coal for navy ships. Churchill was a leader in that for the free world.
Electricity had to be regulated to provide safe & inexpensive power, and chose electric over kerosene to power govt.
Mechanized replaced horse power starting in the first world war, through govt.mandate.
But the creedmore fits. You have that going for you.
