The state's been pushing hard for years to develop the electric car market, with all sorts of incentives to manufacture, sell, buy and use 'em. Hell... a few years ago, when he was Attorney General, Jerry Brown was pushing for electric bulldozers for road construction.
But you're right - almost one third of the electricity used in California is imported from other states. We cannot build nukes, we cannot build dams for hydroelectric, coal is outlawed... that doesn't leave much. Natural gas, wind, and solar.
Also note that the state is attempting to build a "high speed railway system." The plan is for the thing to be powered by electricity. How to pay for it? I suspect by increasing the already absurdly high taxes on motor vehicles and fuel.
Oh - and Gov Gav's requirement that all new housing must be constructed with solar generating systems.
I liked what my old pard Palouse once said, many years ago: "If those people were serious they'd be eating boiled lawn clippings and only wearing clothes woven from their own hair!"

Hope the Kid is OK. Sounds like he'll be sore for a while.

The mismatched front tires are a dead giveaway to the intellectual prowess of the owner.
The Kid noticed that, then checked and said no two tires matched.
Kid called the police; when they arrived, the other driver said he had to call his truck's "owner." Turned out to be his mother; she arrived with a bunch of papers for an expired insurance policy. The police asked questions, but when the Kid asked about getting a copy of the report, they told him "The insurance companies will negotiate; we don't do reports anymore unless there are injuries." The Kid - who was by this time pretty sore and in a bit of a grumpy mood - said "Well, my back hurts and I'm headed to the hospital as soon as we're done here, so start writin'!"
They did, and he did. Examined and X-ray'd, Doc said he'd be stiff and sore for a while and to take a few days off. The Kid said that his truck was in neutral and he'd just taken his foot off the brake when hit - "Dad, that truck had a static weight of close to 9,000 lbs and still got punted close to sixty feet."

Where's the big truck with the failing brakes when you need it?
Like this one that crashed into my son's 1-ton Ford Super Duty work truck yesterday? Guy then yelled at the Kid for being stopped for a red light!
Fella must've been on an intellectual par with the kids in the meme - didn't think to turn off his engine, even though it was ingesting trim and body parts into the belts and pulleys and hemorrhaging coolant until it got hot enough to seize.

I was always a terrible math student. English, too, for that matter - which might explain why I could never come to terms with mixing letters with numbers!
Anyway, I sent this to Helen Brimstone (retired engineer). She laughed like hell, then forwarded it to her granddaughter in in Brazil. Five minutes later got a response:
I can relate to Joe's answer better~!!

First match as a Buckeroo when he was eight... he signed in, and the nice lady behind the counter looked at his name, smiled, and said "I'm sorry, Honey, but you're going to have to find a new alias. I'm pretty sure 'Sassparilla Kid' was taken years ago."
The kid looked surpised, then thoughtful, then pulled his vest aside and displayed his badge. The nice lady looked at his bade and number, eyebrows went up, and she declared "Oh MY! You ARE the 'Sassparilla Kid!'"
