Living in Santa Ynez must be really tough, getting around and all with those Bently’s and top-shelf jags/mercs and 6-digit priced horses. Pontificate on in the valley of the ultra rich.

How charming, Kate!  :)  Let me make two quick points:

1) I drive a 16 year old car with 212K miles on it.  (I’ve sworn that my next car will be an EV.)  It’s likely that your refrigerator is worth more than my car. 

2) It’s true that there are some rich people around here.  But I believe the quest for renewables is a good deal for everyone at every socio-economic level.  It nauseates me when I read propaganda that clean energy will put more people out of work in an already-tough financial climate.  While it’s true that we’ll someday have a world without coal-miners, the net benefit in jobs in deploying renewable energy solutions and building clean transportation will be enormous.
