What an excellent argument for banning cars. Don't want your cars taken away? Well, go have a big cry.

I'm sure the governments around the world know this. So why still push electric if there's little to no benefit. Hmmm 🤔...

i wish that f1 would further their research on bio-fuels so that we can still enjoy loud cars and be environment friendly at the same tome.

Do y’all deny climate change? Does no one understand science?

The main problem started when the government forced everyone to use cars and subsidized roads while tearing down other better transportation options like Public Transport, cycling, and walkability. Thanks to this, more obesity rates, wasteful costs, debt, and taxes associated with cars, Urban sprawl causing dead spaces and a housing shortage, longer commutes from the sprawl, traffic, high accident death rates... If you think agenda 21 is horrible, you are already living under an agenda of cars controlling people.

California continues to be a shining beacon of what NOT to do.

California wants to enforce electric cars all while having to routinely shut down their electric grid. Hmmmm 🤔

Lol back to horse carriages thanks to the communist invaders.

I just lost many many brain cells

Cherry picking at its finest

Thank you for making this video!

I wish these unhinged leftists would ‘listen to the science’!

Electric cars are fairly new. Gas cars have had many many years to perfect themselves, and they still have a lot of emissions. If there are more electric cars, that means the demand for them will be higher, leading companies to compete even more to have less emissions. Better technology can be made for less emissions. This video is comparing gas cars, which have been widely made and popular for 100 years, to electric cars which have only really been a thing for 20. If you compare the emissions of electric cars in 80 years, there will be a lot less emissions. Of course there isnt a big gap between gas and electric cars right now. Gas cars have had 80 more years to develop!

BTW, this video was made in 2015.

Although it's true that EV's are much better for the environment when not powered by coal, restricting what people can buy is stupid.

It takes 10 seconds to fact check that only 24% of electricity in US is produced by coal and its going down rapidly. These shit quality videos annoy me.

This has been disproven so many times over and over again. Even today if you want to have the least amount of CO2 emissions over a vehicle life time nowhere in the US this car would be pure gasoline. Depending on the state it is either completely electric, plugin hybrid or mild hybrid. It is only gonna get even better for electric cars (the 3% gain in renewable energy over 25 years is obviously ridiculous). Also the 90k mile lifetime of a nissan leaf is ridiculous, this whole video is ridiculous, but I digress. If you wanna see how it is in your state see this official website by the US department of Energy afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html

“We’re not gonna take your cars away” as he takes your cars away, California.

I will support electric cars when the electricity is nuclear

Sounds like Gavin and his band of Socialists skipped a step, they forgot that we in California are already having “Brownouts” due to climate change, and wildfires. So do we choose air conditioning in our homes or go to work, not both?

This channel deserves more recognition

Hybrid and hydrogen are the way to go, at least according to Toyota! BEV (battery) cars are basically just a transition!

Trump 2020

So just use oil instead? What's the problem? I'm joking btw

Lmfao let’s stop burning gas so we can double the amount of coal we burn from plugging in our cars oh what’s that coal has more carbon emissions then petrol fuel so what this guy is telling me is that he’s gonna destroy a whole job industry in California to achieve literally nothing Jesus Christ I’m 19 and I understand the world better then that guy does 😭😭

its simple Elon musk said it too. Build more wind farms, solar panels, giga factories are great because they can offer extremes about of power and electricity to a whole state. We Germans want that too and we hope that Audi, BMW, Porsche goes the same route.

That rule won’t be necessary, people will buy electric cars anyways if charging facilities are provided in Apartments buildings. Gas prices are much higher in California compared to other states, electric cars are better choice.

Restart fracking and nuclear testing in the San Andreas fault. That should take care of it.

Watch California’s economy start to sink in about 12 years.

I wonder if fossil fuel billionaires like the idea of electric cars.... Hmmmmmmmmm

And this is coming from the same person who already took away almost everyone’s guns. It’s not even about safety/ for the environment anymore it’s just seeing how easily they can control people.

If your teacher has assigned this, it's important to understand that Prager U isn't a learning institution but a conservative propaganda outlet. By all means, watch to learn about your teacher's biases, but then go hear from the other side, as well. Philosophy Tube, Contrapoints and Big Joel are good places to start. In fact, Big Joel has a couple of videos about the problems, both humorous and serious, with Prager U.

You can really tell how PragerU is paid millions by oil companies to make this misinformation

Björn lomberg is a very smart guy, a lot of good speeches about climate change and all this stuff...

Surprise! This is something that will be a literal requirement in less than 100 years. Biodiesel from switchgrass is the best idea here, but renewable electricity in an electric car is an equally viable option. Yeah, you can poke holes in this idea all day if you want, but you'll be one day closer to requiring this change. California is just getting a head start. Oof, research reveals this guy and his company biffed it not too long ago. Guess he was not the best source.

Hahaha hahaha, you think that it's going to solve anything. You do realize China is the biggest polluter along with India. I dare you to go into China and tell them they have to buy by aoc's new green deal I dare you.

They show a video of fires that happen every summer since the beginning of time and say climate change is more evident today,pffft

This is getting just insane

What makes them think that people won’t drive a few hours to the border and buy gas cars from the neighboring states😂like it only takes a day to get there lol

I love when these idiots do this. So now everyone will just buy their cars across state lines or leave all together putting tens if thousands out of work that used to work at dealerships, creating even more homeless and welfare recipients. Of course they will then blame a republican somewhere because he's racist and that's what caused their problems.

Yeah the 3 degree increase over roughly 50 years is what's burning down the forrest. Nothing to do with all the dry vegetation, tinder and banning private burns. Certainly it must be that 3 degree increase globally that's burning down the forrest. And the fact that United States contribute less green house gases than 2/3rds the world combine.

i see nothing wrong with this. I say this only cause I dont live in cali.

Liberals got to go!!🔥👹🔥💥💥💥👊

California couldn't provide energy for the homes due to the unstable grid and energy generation sources, how will they provide for a few Twh of energy to charge all the vehicles during the night? More than that, the energy distribution grid will likely have to be upgraded to keep up with all the charging stations added.

Ok what will that this stats look if your using nuclear power??? Maybe electric car and nuke power???

Ever heard of exponential increase in technology? With your view all of us will be driving same benz motorwagan in 2020. We would never mine anything... including oil. Battery is atleast recycled partially. Same stupidity was said about solar panels right?

Yea! Right! I deny human made climate change. It's the Sun, stupid!

Last one out of California turn the light switch off.

I am still a big fans of electric cars. If you want to stop airpollution and CO2 emissions, we need to start getting our electricity from nuclear power.

so if the US moves from coal to natural gas, electric cars would be a really good deal.

i think you guys just proved yourselfs wrong, the electric cars produce less co2 over their entire lifetimes than gas powered ones.

but it would help with california smog

I support use of electric cars like tesla but don't force others to use them, converting to electric cars need time and better tech..

Do they care where the battery is made from? There will be a lot of new natural damage in mining countries, the process of excavation, smelting refinement and others more severe than the oil drilling process, not to mention the energy supply for batteries is still from fossils? Or solar cell and wind power fields everywhere, to compare fossil energy now to future developed electrical energy it all has been calculated?

Ok boomer

What crazy people with crazy ideas!!!!!! This guy is putting the last nails in californias coffin!!! What ignorance!

The sad thing is electric cars would make more sense if we just went full nuclear like France, but that's not an option, because just like Orange Man, Nuclear Power bad.

If only politicans ran zero-emissions... And it takes a special kind of insanity to declare that you are increasing people's choices by removing their choices. One more reason I'm glad I don't live in California and wish they would stay there and stop exporting their crazy to other states.

Back in the forties, Henry Ford built completely indestructible vehicle. Your insurance company's killed it. Let that sink in for a minute.

l've worked at a native american reservation, there they have their own fire departments and each year they go around clearing debree. They have been doing this for years because they know the risks of not doing it. This is in San Diego Ca BTW. The governor is insane and a tyrant.

Tesla model s is fast af

Gavin is a clown

And this is all based on the premise that CO2 is a pollutant. CO2 is NOT a pollutant.

Can’t wait until Kalifornia falls into the Pacific.

Look. I hate Gavin Newsom as much as anyone because he's a moron, but California currently gets 0% FROM COAL. We get 53% from green sources such as wind, solar, hydro, nuclear and geothermal. So in California, the numbers skew heavily in favor of electric cars. It's disingenuous to start with California and then do the calculations for the least green state. This is something that I don't expect from PragerU, since generally your videos are well-researched, fact-based and not misleading.

Wait, so how do you charge a car to go to work when your neighborhood has a scheduled blackout that night? Is that going to be mandated as a paid holiday for those people or do they get fired for not showing up like the rest of us?

better start breading horses and donkies

What happens if buy a car online or just drive out of state to buy a new car? Since every car as it drives off the lot is used now cannot see how they stop people from having used cars. Unless he is crazy enough to just ban all gas cars or try and say cannot buy things out of state.

He will be out of office way b4 then.

Charging all those EVs should absorb all the surplus energy available in California's electrical system.

I am a conservative and PraguerU subscriber, but as a free and independent thinker I am compelled to say that Republicans and conservative publications like PraguerU are on the wrong side of history when it comes to the electrification and sustainable energy equation. EVs are the future--don't bash one until you drive one. Now that said, it doesn't make Newsom's executive orders right, and it is certainly government overreach, but don't let that blind you to the future--we can't ignore our opportunity to provide a better and cleaner future for our children just because of the current polarization of our political ideology paradigm. EVs are shortly going to be superior in everyway to internal combustion engines thanks to our free markets and American innovation. My Tesla Model 3 simply blows the doors off of any other sedan in terms of cost, performance, maintenance, quality, high tech, and overall enjoyment. Coupled with my solar array I pay zero for gas and the energy going into my Tesla is 100% clean, not powered by coal. I wake up to a full charge every morning. Teslas are exploding in popularity, and will come soon to a neighborhood near you! Not to mention TSLA has been the best financial investment of my investing career. Mark my words, trucking, boating, planes, and trains will all electrify after consumer transport; it's simply a matter of economy. Akin to how the Left is bought and paid for by the abortion industry and thus promotes it's special interest, the Right and advocacy groups like PraguerU needs to dump the big oil special interests and anti-EV straw man arguments and get on the right side of history on this one. Until then I'll continue to watch but I won't be a financial donor. Lastly, don't just vote this comment down because you dissent with my opinion--that's childish behavior that the Left employs. If you disagree I am willing to hear any well-founded, constructive criticism you may have.

The California are California lawmakers are getting more insane every day.

Full support, maybe Californians will stop infiltrating anywhere else then. I do feel sorry about those that have got nothing to do with it, but hey, there is nothing I can do about it.

Yes, but when gasoline automobiles were invented conservatives said "give me my old horse and buggy any day. To hell with these new fanggled automobiles!". Gasoline cars were ineficient, unreliable and extremely pollutant 80 years ago. Today they are much better. Who would want to go back to the "conservative" horse and buggy? Give electric vehicles a chance. In time they will improve just like gasoline cars improved. As conservatives pleeeeease don't tell me that you want to go back to riding donkeys!

And Elon is moving out 😂

Guess what? The cost of electricity in California is about to go 👆👆👆🚀 BIG TIME! $$$$$

They can't even keep the electricity on there and they are going to take away all the gas cars......ok??

This is a stupid video. This video Electric cars produce several tons less CO2 than oil cars over their respective lifetime. Multiply that by the 2 million new car registrations in california each year & that's not a insignificant number. This is a stupid video.

Liberals are about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. They are also destroying this once great nation with their ignorance and perversions.

Can we ban people from california moving to other states and f@&king those up too?

There will still be heat waves and record temps even after electric vehicles own the road.

With the black outs, he'll be able to more easily control who can go where and when. As Kevin D. Williamson put it, the left like trains because they can only go where the government allows. And when the government allows them to go.

Elon liked that

Ah yes, socialists trying to legislate supply and demand.

That's so crazy!!!! Only from newsome... California can't even keep their lights on.. let alone charge all those electric cars... Don't alot of California Tesla owners had diesel/gas backup generators in order to charge there cars?.. because of the aging electrical grid.. rolling brownouts. Can't see the state of California improving that anytime soon... Typical liberal logic...

Is there an alternative to electric and gas powered cars that export carbon oxide? Can environmental friendly means be reached with circus like antics complicating the process?

Ban Dems at every level CA !!!

V8 cars are dead now thanks caly you are dumb

Gavin Newsome resembles Lady Elaine Fairchilde from Mr. Rogers’ Land of Make Believe. Maybe they’re related. They seem to share the same material between their ears.

The rich virtue signalers better have a good solar farm at home!

Scary. Here in Scotland they are doing the same. 🙄

Guess I won't be traveling to Ca by car in the future...🤔

Lmao.... Bye bye California, time to move to a Red state.

Politicians don't do good things unless that makes them more popular.

Well as cars in California are actually powered by a liquid and not a gas then it won't make any difference!

I don't know anything about this.

I have a friend in California that was born and raised there(very conservative Republican) and she often tells me about the blackouts she has to put up with in NE Cali. They can go days to close to a week with no electricity! She and her family are disgusted in what has happened to their once beautiful state. Her mother is elderly so she can't move but once her mom dies she is leaving and coming here to Texas.

Why to rush progress. That is same as tyrany

so this video is anti-coal and anti tax breaks and says that we need to more dependent of renewable energy by 2040 if we are going to make a difference? WOW welcome to the left comrade!!

Cars are least of their problem with all those homeless in 2035.
