California to ban sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035

As California continues to battle ever more deadly and destructive wildfires up and down the state, California governor Gavin Newsom has issued a sweeping executive order that will effectively ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel-driven vehicles by the year 2035 by requiring that any car you drive off the dealer’s lot be zero emission.

“This is the most impactful step our state can take to fight climate change,” Newsom said at a Wednesday news conference. “For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe. You deserve to have a car that doesn’t give your kids asthma. Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse and create more days filled with smoky air. Cars shouldn’t melt glaciers or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines.”

Don’t panic, nobody’s coming to take your car. As Newsom’s executive order outlining the new rules notes, existing internal combustion vehicles will still be perfectly legal to own, operate, buy, and sell within the state. The new rules only apply to new vehicle sales. That includes cars, minivans and SUVs. The California Air Resources Board will also be tasked with drafting regulations to do the same with medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2045. Newsom’s office notes that transportation accounts for roughly half of the state’s carbon emissions and estimates that these new rules will reduce those emissions by 35 percent.

The move is the first of its kind for a US state, however it’s not an entirely unique idea. A dozen countries including the UK, Germany and India have all passed legislation to phase out gas-powered vehicles by 2030 while Canada and France have established a goal of 2040.

This is what happens after brainwashing. Dude if houses itself will not be there when earthquakes happen, where will these solar panels be hanging? As it is CA is unable to meet current power needs and has rolling blackouts, imagine in one summer you got earthquake and leading to forest fires and the put yourself into that situation and see if that solar is going to save you and get out of that area.

first allocate enough budget and do proper forest management, instead of using money for social communist ideology programs.

If they really wanted to reduce carbon footprint they could get rid of the ridiculous zoning laws , California has so much land but they won't allow apartments to be built which decreases carbon footprint by half and also helps the poor people afford housing   .

Instead California democrats choose to do virtue signaling and do more harm than good .  This is going to affect the poor a lot more because they can't afford EV

Most poor people in america live paycheck to paycheck , their poor credit history does not allow them to get loans . Most of them get on with old cars .

We don't know the struggles of crippling generational poverty , California is one of the worst states to be a poor guy . Illegal immigrants valla netukoni vasthundhi
