If the states of California and New York really wanted to improve conditions and
protect us they would enact new rules that mandate the use of higher ethanolgasoline blend levels in all gasoline-powered vehicles, including hybrid electric
cars; and mandate increased use of biodiesel made from ethanol. There would

could then continue on trying to perfect electric vehicle technology so that in 30
or 40 or 100 years from now a true transition to electric vehicles might be able
to take place.
