Anyone who pays over $1,000 for installation is likely including permit costs which aren't required in every city. This clown that got quoted $4100 probably lives in the bay area.

I get you. Let's repeal govt subsidies on oil and gas extraction, enough of this shit, time to pay what it really costs!
Way ahead? Coal powered electricity?
Which will then likely affect the price of electricity generated from oil and gas.I get you. Let's repeal govt subsidies on oil and gas extraction, enough of this shit, time to pay what it really costs!
Chicken and egg.
How do you know?
I asked Google Gemini:
China is the world's leading producer of coal-fired electricity, generating around 52.5% of the world's total in 2022. This is nearly four times the amount generated by India, the second-largest producer. China also has the most coal-fired power plants in the world, with 1,142 operational plants on the Chinese mainland as of July 2023
That happened to me as well. I got the refund check for the impact fee. I hope you did too.
Oh, NVM, I re-read your post and you say you kept out-of-state plates on the car and did not register.
But that brings up a real irony overall...
The state had that BS environmental impact fee, yet the state has no safety and emissions inspection program in place.
The state that is SOOO worried about the environmental impact of cars coming into their state, yet for cars ALREADY in the state that are belching black smoke with bald tires and a cracked windshield can be registered no problem.

China's renewable energy capacity has grown significantly over the last two decades, and in 2021 it exceeded 1,000 gigawatts (GW), accounting for 43.5% of the country's total power generation capacity. In 2020, China pledged to reach 1,200 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, but at its current pace, it may meet that target by 2025.

China's renewable energy growth includes:
Solar: In 2022, China installed roughly as much solar capacity as the rest of the world combined, and then doubled that in 2023. China also dominates the solar panel supply chain, manufacturing more than twice global demand each year.
Wind: In 2023, China installed 66% more new wind turbines than the year before, and in the first quarter of 2024, wind power accounted for an average of 11.4% of China's total electricity generation.
Other renewables: China's renewable capacity also includes hydro and nuclear power.
China's clean-energy investments are also growing, with 2023 seeing a 40% year-on-year increase to 6.3 trillion yuan ($890 billion). This is almost as large as total global investments in fossil fuel supply in 2023, and clean-energy sectors contributed 11.4 trillion yuan ($1.6 trillion) to the Chinese economy in 2023, up 30% year-on-year.
Generative AI is experimental.
By the end of 2019, the country had a total capacity of 790 GW of renewable power, mainly from hydroelectric, solar and wind power. By the end of 2019, China's hydropower capacity reached 356 GW. China's installed capacity of solar power reached 252 GW and wind power capacity was 282 GW, as of 2020.
So how do you know these buses are powered by coal!
