I live close to this and the event is proving the horseshoe political theory very very correct.

You get the lefty RFK Jr. anti-science types becoming very anti-batteries, collaborating with the extreme-right-wing coalition of mountain hermits, rednecks, and extremely wealthy Monterey peninsula types.
