Volkswagen Bets Big On Electric Cars, Plans 30 Models By 2025 (usatoday.com)
An anonymous reader writes: German automaker Volkswagen plans to deliver 30 electric plug-in models by 2025. The new plan comes in the wake of a devastating emissions scandal that cast doubt on the future of its once-beloved diesel cars. It also exposes the immense challenges that the company will face internally. Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller suggested that Volkswagen Group, whose brands include Audi and Porsche, will "significantly" reduce the number of models it makes and will slash almost $9 billion in spending annually to bolster the bottom line.
It's going to become increasingly irrelevant what you think of these measures. Carbon will be priced, and if you want to keep driving gas guzzling vehicles you will pay more and more and more and more.
The universe doesn't owe your driving habits any favors. Your bizarre linking of liberty to the price of gas is merely the product of your own stupidity and selfishness.
But you'll adapt, bitching and sniveling like a little child the whole time.

No arguments from anybody anywhere else in the US. That people willingly live in LA, let alone move there, boggles the mind. It makes sense that one of California's growing exports is fleeing refugees.
