Self righteous douche-bags who want to save the world while running themselves into debt. And they also seem to think that anyone they talk to on the phone will instantly know they're from California just by mentioning the name of their city. I don't think of surfers, I think of people who think they're the ass-kings of the US. I also get annoyed when they complain about how cold it is. Try -20 F. It seems they've reached a point where they're so forward thinking, their heads have wrapped around their sense of self worth and have planted neatly in their asses. And when you have areas in your most populous cities where even the hard-core RAMPART SWAT members won't go due to firebombings, you might have bigger problems then getting everyone into hybrids. I've been to California, it was either smog smothered ghettos and freeways, or upscale neighborhoods where everyone had 'gone green'. Not a big fan.
I do realize there's a middle area where people actually do work, farm, live normal lives, it seems like's it's the coast line over the Sierra Madre that's the problem.
