Those fumes are for the most part hydrogen gases, in parts per hundred, at the most, depends on how well they are made. Might not be enough to regulate, or may not be regulated at all, I don't know anything about the statutes. I do know, being a non-professional mechanic, that I don't need any particularly non-ordinary permits to charge a car battery, and I believe the batteries in these vehicles are pretty much the same. I've not heard of any particularly different or extra-ordinary permittage needed to run these cars because of any fumes from the batteries.
So the cars need to be certified for using electricity that is generated by some one up the chain who is already certified 100+ different ways already for generating electricity? Still smells like over-regulation to me. I think the thought process from the Gov. side is more like this: "Car. Car is regulated. Where car regulation permit? Me smash!"
Its nonsense. If the car doesn't generate the regulated pollutants, the regulation doesn't apply. Its a an entirely new, and permitted (due to the fact that this same Gov. is giving out loans and credits for same) classification. The left arm once again is completely unaware of what mayhem the right one is committing. More VIVID illustration, at least to me, that we have much more government than we need.
Wow. Proudly proclaiming to be San Francisco based as well. If they were based on the desert steppes of Outer Mongolia I can see how they might think they would be able to escape the long A.R.M. (a zillion Zyringian ducats to anyone who gets the ref) of the RIAA there, but Sillicon Valley's ground zero? Wow. They are begging for law suits. Maybe they have a legal ringer.
You mean the the Democratic part supports democracy like Nancy Pelosi seeking to investigate anyone who voices dissent regarding the Ground Zero Mosque, or the way political correctness dictates what people can and can't say, the way the democrats are discussing global warming legislation behind closed-door sessions, that kind of democracy?

Atrocious English aside; I gave it two minutes before some angry Anglo git would blame something his/her/their country did on the US, and damned if I wasn't right.
Wikipedia reports his current, 2010 wealth at USD$13.5 Billion, and retains owns a reported 138 million shares, no mention of weather common or preferred stock.
Its a symptom of the culture I think. A lot of these people are looking at their retirement portfolios and trying to force these small players to make a big payoff. Or they simply don't see the value in a bunch of bit-players paying them a nickle each.
I used work for this old Irish guy back east who had a vending machine business. He would beg municipalities to put vending machines in the oddest places, do some "dirty dealing" to cut out competitors, and just get as many of HIS machines out as possible, which sounds a lot like the tactics of the labels. But he'd also undercut all vendors by as much as he could stand. Sometimes he'd sell sodas, matches, whatever, at a loss. He was getting ready to retire to the Hamptons when I left NY to go to school out here (he ended up with a huge operation that netted him millions every year, but it took him years.) I asked him how he made a fortune selling crap food and matches for nickels (back then.) He responded in a way that makes so much sense, and we've all heard it;
"A nickle here, a dime there, pretty soon you're talking real money."
I've been to a number of adults book stores. The number of gay titles in a typical store means... what? The number of gay porn titles produced was not the question.
I cited Kinsey, and... you left one out. One considerably more current. One that might answer your question. If you want to argue with me I think you need to come in better "equipped."
