Politically, I think that it can be handled well. All Biden has to say is that "Since The Trump administration has done such a horrific job when it comes to climate change, California has always tried to be a leader in the movement. We can find a way to support our auto manufacturers and build great new cars that don't rely on burning fossil fuels."

Of course the right is going to howl. They would do that about anything.

This doesn't change much for consumers until 15 years out. It gives industry enough time to expand their line up of alternative fuel cars.

It isn't the end of the world.
