That figure is currently 2015
Originally, the goal was 2003. Arguably, it isn't/wasn't perfect - but equally arguable, more vehicles that meet the ZEV program specs have been sold in CA more than any other state. This in their effort to enhance public health safety.. maybe reduce the number of spare the air days (although free BART was nice
)....
I don't live in CA at the moment, but legislation such as YOU MUST sell all new houses with hurricane shutters (or impact rated windows) exists.... And, YOU MUST have exterior doors open out.... etc.

Wrong. The turbine blades are a lot more like airplane wings, and I can assure you that those do ice up.

But, while in operation, they wont... If it's installed in a location where that's an issue - de-icing measures are taken... ice isn't an issue - plenty of operating turbines are evidence of this
