Lawsuit Filed Against California Dept Of Fish & Wildlife For Approving Ballona Wetlands Project That Destroys Wildlife Habitat And Ignores Climate Change

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A lawsuit has been filed by Defend Ballona Wetlands and two individuals, Molly Basler and Robert van de Hoek, in Los Angeles…

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A lawsuit has been filed by Defend Ballona Wetlands and two individuals, Molly Basler and Robert van de Hoek, in Los Angeles Superior Court, challenging California Department of Fish & Wildlife’s (CDFW) approval of an environmental impact report that would allow for the complete destruction of the fragile Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve, the last wetlands on the Los Angeles coast. This misguided project would mostly benefit SoCalGas, operators of a dangerous gas storage field under the reserve. Ballona’s approximately 640 acres have been owned by the public since 2003 and are a treasured resource.

«Our Governor’s cabinet members just announced a series of initiatives that support ‘Nature Based Solutions’ to counter climate change. So, how does Governor Newsom justify a project to bulldoze and excavate more than 2.5 million cubic yards of soil, paving the way for a new fossil fuel infrastructure for the aging gas storage field under this ecological reserve?» asked attorney Bryan Pease.

The petitioners claim CDFW failed to respond adequately to comments made by numerous organizations and community members – especially related to climate change and to endangered and other imperiled species at Ballona.

«It’s outrageous CDFW did not address the fact that hundreds of acres, filled with plants, animals and soils, would be destroyed, even though they store and sequester carbon now. Protecting carbon in place is crucial. Yet, their plan would obliterate a mosaic of habitats so that a salt marsh might sequester carbon in 100 years? We don’t have 100 years!» exclaimed Molly Basler, a Climate Reality Leader, trained by Al Gore, and a candidate for LA City Council.

Wildlife biologist Robert van de Hoek has done field observations at Ballona for 30 years. He notes concerns raised by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which are outlined in the lawsuit.

«The State cannot legally dismiss the many documented sightings of endangered species and species on the California List of Species of Special Concern. The law says they must address those species, and, in many cases, they did not. The ‘Nature Based Solution’ at Ballona is to protect the landscape, not to experiment with it,» explained van de Hoek.

Lawsuit Filed Challenging State Fish & Wildlife Approval of Bulldozing Project at the Ballona Wetlands on the Los Angeles Coast

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A community environmental group filed a lawsuit today challenging California fish & wildlife officials’ highly controversial approval last month of a project that would bulldoze the cherished Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve, located north of Los Angeles International Airport. Protect Ballona Wetlands’ petition for writ of mandate asks the Los Angeles Superior Court to set aside all approvals, alleging numerous violations of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The petition alleges that the project proposed was not adequately described, a complaint raised by federal agencies including the US Fish & Wildlife Service.

«In addition to the project description being inaccurate, there are errors with the environmental baseline, and significant new information was disclosed late or not at all, requiring recirculation of the Environmental Impact Report,» explained public interest lawyer Jamie T. Hall.

«Standing out like a sore thumb is the revelation that the engineers who designed this project used the incorrect flood risk standards. For people living, working or driving near the wetlands, the flood risk standards are very important to get right, especially given concerns about sea level rise on the coast. The US Army Corps of Engineers decided not to release a final Environmental Impact Statement due to this concern,» continued Hall.

Environmental activist Wendy-Sue Rosen said Protect Ballona Wetlands was formed due to the shocking lack of legitimate information related to flood risk, unacknowledged damage to the environment, and the exorbitant cost of a project clearly detrimental to wildlife.

«This project is estimated to cost the public more than $250 million, and more than $12 million in public funds have already been spent on a design using an incorrect flood risk standard – that’s outrageous!» said Rosen.

Inadequate responses to comments made by the public during the CEQA process is another violation that looms large.

Four members of the Garland family, who provided comments during the one public hearing held for this highly destructive project, have joined Protect Ballona Wetlands. Their comments, like many others, were mostly dismissed by state officials.

«The Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve is a very special place to me. There is a vast and varied range of birds that I’ve seen from the Great Blue Heron, Egret, Osprey, Black-crowned Night Heron, White-Tailed Kite, and so many more reliant on this land to survive,» explained Jackson Garland, who spent his 16^th birthday testifying at the public hearing convened in November, 2017.

TEMSA, llamando la atención con las importantes entregas que ha realizado recientemente en el extranjero, ha expuesto su visión por los vehículos eléctricos. TEMSA, que hizo su primera entrega de autobuses eléctricos impulsados por TEMSA a Suecia, cultiva todas las tecnologías que dirigen la industria, especialmente cuando se trata de vehículos eléctricos, en la planta de Adana de la compañía.

«PRODUCIMOS LAS BATERÍAS EN TURQUÍA»

Tomando nota de que TEMSA es una de las pocas empresas del mundo que ha comenzado a crear soluciones innovadoras en el campo de las nuevas tecnologías hace muchos años y que múltiples modelos diseñados orientados a los vehículos eléctricos están listos para la producción en masa hoy en día, CevdetAlemdar, Presidente de Industria SBU de Sabancı Holding y Presidente del Consejo de Administración de TEMSA, dijo: «Hoy consideramos a TEMSA como no sólo una empresa automotriz, sino también una empresa de tecnología automotriz.

Más recientemente, hemos exportado 6 autobuses MD9 electriCITY con alimentación TEMSA, en los que utilizamos los paquetes de baterías que desarrollamos y producimos en nuestra propia instalación de baterías. Estamos muy orgullosos de haber implementado un proyecto tan importante en TEMSA.»

CevdetAlemdar expresó que TEMSA se ha centrado en la sostenibilidad y la tecnología en su estrategia de crecimiento y dijo: «Nosotros, como TEMSA, entregamos nuestra primera exportación de vehículos eléctricos a Suecia en el último mes. Suecia es, de hecho, el país que ha poseído esta tecnología durante muchos años, presentó una visión significativa para este tema y, tal vez, es la que más asume poseer este esfuerzo en el mundo. Por ejemplo, las empresas tecnológicas más grandes del mundo en los EE.UU. utilizan nuestros autobuses de la marca TEMSA para el transporte de sus empleados. También veremos nuestros vehículos eléctricos allí en el próximo período. TS45 es nuestro modelo popular en los EE.UU. Estamos en el proceso de producir el modelo eléctrico de este vehículo.

Queremos lograr un éxito mucho mayor en el próximo período en los EE.UU. Nos gustaría conseguir logros aún mayores en los EE.UU. en el próximo período. Creemos que el mercado norteamericano será uno de los motores del crecimiento de TEMSA en el futuro. Del mismo modo, estamos muy fuertes en el Reino Unido, Italia y Alemania. Ahora, creceremos rápidamente en Europa Central y Oriental también a través de la fuerza de nuestro socio PPF y Skoda Transportation.»

NUEVO CENTRO DE I+D: TEMSATECH

Destacando el hecho de que TEMSA ha invertido en I+D e innovación en gran medida durante muchos años, TolgaKaanDoğancıoğlu, consejero delegado de TEMSA, dice que se ha establecido una plataforma llamada TEMSATech dentro de la empresa para diseñar nuevas tecnologías.

Tesla in India: Boost in a Country with Low Appetite for Electric Cars, Reports IDTechEx

BOSTON, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tesla has plans to enter a new market: India. This story has unfolded only one way so far. Tesla decides to enter a new market and quickly becomes the top-selling EV maker by leveraging its powerful brand and class-leading technology at a competitive price: China, South Korea, the UK, the Netherlands, and <span…

Plug-in refers to battery-electric + plug-in hybrid vehicles; 2020 figures are estimated by IDTechEx. Data sources: SIAM, SMEV, IDTechEx

The trouble is India currently does not have much of an appetite for electric cars, at least in the current situation. In fact, this stretches to cars in general. While it is true that India has one of the largest auto markets in the world – it is fifth behind China, the US, Europe & Japan – and peaked at 3.3 million vehicle sales in 2018 (before the anticipation of new emissions regulation in 2020 sparked a short-term decline), taking a look at vehicles in-use per capita tells a different story.

The new IDTechEx report «Electric Vehicles in India 2021-2041» finds that roughly 26 cars are in-use per 1000 people in India; this compares with 700–800 for the US and Europe and 200 for China, the world’s largest auto market. In contrast, looking at two-wheelers, India is the largest motorcycle market in the world and has around 170 motorcycles per 1000 people: clearly, motorcycles are the current mobility preference. The main reason behind this disparity is the price, as popular motorcycles are typically sold between $700 – $2000 in India, compared to the average car being north of $10,000.

As is well known, the largest barrier to the adoption of electric vehicles is the higher upfront price, which is, therefore, an even higher barrier in India. The result is India’s plug-in electric car market has never truly taken off and is currently fluctuating between 2000 and 4000 sales yearly, compared to 1 million sales from China in 2020. Looking at the models available on the Indian market, low-priced offerings (under $20k) are still well above the average car price and have less than 150 miles of range, for example, the Mahindra e-Verito or Tata Tigor, making them unattractive as well as unaffordable. The other issue is charging infrastructure, where deployment is also very low in the country. Market entry of Tesla in 2021, unfortunately, does not solve these core problems, at least in the short term.

Moreover, the government’s FAME-II policy does not subsidize private electric cars – only commercial ones – reflecting how the focus of electrification in India is still very much in the realm of micro-mobility (two and three wheelers), which are much easier to electrify and can use standard electrical outlets to charge removable batteries.

To learn more about IDTechEx’s long-term forecast for electric cars in India, the new report «Electric Vehicles in India 2021–2041″ (www.IDTechEx.com/IndiaEV) addresses and forecasts electric two-wheelers, electric three-wheelers (e-rickshaws), electric cars and electric buses in the country, revealing the massive potential and opportunity from one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies. The report further explores key technology trends unique to India, such as the transition away from Lead-acid batteries, Li-ion chemistry choices for 45-degree midday heat, the importance of local battery production and the country’s reliance on permanent magnet motors from China.

This research forms part of the broader electric vehicle and energy storage portfolio from IDTechEx, who track the adoption of electric vehicles, battery trends, and demand across land, sea and air, helping you navigate whatever may be ahead. Find out more at www.IDTechEx.com/Research/EV.
