Probably so, at least eventually. We're killing our planet.

How hot does it have to get? How mild do you want winter? How many once every 500 year storms, every year can you stand?

No!

Why move towards non-gasoline cars when there is talk of removing 4 hydropower dams on the Snake River?? They estimate it will cost between 10 billion and 23 billion dollars to replace the benefits of those 4 dams. Why are politicians and people so stupid??

Mining lithium for batteries has it's own negative environmental impact and, it the not to distant future, the disposal of millions of lithium batteries will be be a real issue. How many new ways can we come up with to wreck the planet?

I might be fine for Portland but it will never work for Eastern Oregon! But Politicians in Salem could care less about people living over here!

We don't have sufficient electrical grid to support a higher demand in electricity. Ask why the wind turbines are shut down regularly. The grid can't support the additional electricity.

Electrical grids will never handle the power of that many electric cars. We will have massive electrical outages and it is too expensive, much more to run than gas when we are independently self-sufficient for oil. Batteries alone are not affordable. How many more reasons do you need?

Even with tax credits, electric cars are not affordable for many Oregonians. Meanwhile, electric trucks have very limited range when hauling large loads. I could understand mandating hybrid vehicles, but this comes off as power grab by wealthy politicians who don't understand their constituents.

NO way, Unaffordable, not enough power, batterie disposal, mining for lithium more destructive to the earth, no matter what the US does it will not help climate change. Another Democratic way to control us.

I am surprised the big gas fueled auto makers are not fighting the E.V. conversion.

Considering that I have physically seen the Tesla trucks filling up with gas at the local Shell station I see no point to it. Not to mention I am NOT in a financial position to buy a new vehicle nor new vehicles for the farm.

NO absolutely NOT! This absurd idea of abandoning fossil fuels is fueling inflation, costing Americans way to much, hurting America. All the stupid green ideas are and will cause future catastrophes, blackouts, unsustainable E V problems and an unrealistic infrastructure nightmare. it is WRONG!!!

Most people these days just wont have the money for a new electric vehicle. And I've never seen a used electric car lot. That, and electric drag cars just dont sound as good.

In this economy with a recession and inflation people can't afford one, and this will do nothing to help the environment, climate change is a hoax

Oh Gabe, you lil' rascal! It's adorable when you scream about climate change. Just because you cry about it doesn't make it untrue. You've never once provided any evidence to it being a hoax. For a man of God, I've never seen someone who hates humans and the planet more than you. Will pray for you.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
