A new proposed bill in California aims to not ban all new non-electric vehicles in the state by 2035 to help fight climate change.
As The Daily Wire reports:
The California Air Resources Board has called for 35% of new car sales in the state to be battery or hydrogen-powered by 2026 as the state seeks to achieve Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s goal of eliminating the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.
“Pull away from the gas pumps,” Newsom said. “Let us no longer be victims of geopolitical dictators that manipulate global supply chains and global markets.”
Electric vehicle sales rose to 12.4% across California in 2021, an increase from 7.8% the prior year, according to CNBC.
“The proposal, if enacted by the California Air Resources Board, would require 35% of new passenger vehicle sales to be powered by batteries or hydrogen by 2026, and 100% of sales to be net-zero emissions less than a decade later. The proposal also calls for zero-emissions sales to account for 68% of total sales by 2030,” the report said.
The news comes as Newsom is currently pushing a $10.5 Billion dollar plan to climate investment program.
stupid is as stupid votes
And where does the electricity come from and how long does it take to fully charge?
can these people get any dumber
Leaders in California are IDIOTS!!! If people come to visit in a gas powered car – no fuel?? The morons will kill tourism.
once we get rid of Bi- dumb and the other lefty loons, life will get somewhat back to normal.
im retired and I will be damned if I’ll by electric.
not until they have one that goes over 1,000 miles without a charge.
this from a state that can’t keep the lights on now
Hee haw, going to sell those two horse powered wagons and buggy whips to all the Global Warming Religious Zealots!
why not all private planes??
Pretty haughty and elitist, since California won’t license power stations to fulfill the needs of all these EV’s. Solar and wind will NOT supply the power needed. Newsom is out of touch, and lives outside the norm of the citizens he’s supposed to represent. But like his aunt Nancy Pelosi, he lives the high life and scorns dissent with vengeful assaults on folks who disagree.
Are they gonna pay for less fortunate to have them? They still wont be affordable by then. That state needs to just fall in the ocean NOW!
Newsome acts like he’s President (dictator) of his own sovereign country. This guy needs to be brought back down to earth and given a stiff dose of reality.
Electric vehicles being charged by electricity produced by fossil fuels.
The biggest pollution state of California is dealing with are the idiots running it, starting with newsom and his blubbering idiots. Democrats sure know how to ruin people’s lives no matter what.
Let the democraps buy me a new electric car. I already bought a gas powered car and intend to keep it running until I’m done driving. They need to be sued for intentionally causing people who legally paid for a gas vehicle and paid multiple forms of taxes when bought and used to be unable to power it from the government’s deliberate actions.
It will never happen! They do not have enough charging stations on line for the number of vehicles. And— people can not afford the price tag for an electric vehicle! Plus the fact the energy grid could not support it! Get real folks, this is not a viable concept!
Biden is a lunatic!
Yep, just said the same thing, but I am waiting for ‘approval’…
Remember EVs are not zero emissions. So many materials needed to build one..!!!
this will not happen, it would take billions to prepare to do something like this ,and our grids are older than you. foolish thought for foolish people
In order to do that we need:
More energy sources: fission, fusion, thorium reactors
More comm chargers
More EVs
Transition to new energy sources alone
Or Cant be done
CUT regulations & taxes can Help
Cut permits & liscening
Prepare to see thousands of vehicles with dead batteries along the sides of all roads and streets.
Once, it was car crazy Californians. Now it’s just plain crazy.
These sick people are very uneducated to the truth and the science for gas vehicles and electric vehicles. Number one is cost. Most folks can’t afford an electric vehicle. Then there is the false and misinformed lied about today’s gas vehicles. Where is the pollutants that affect our climate? Answer: None. You have been lied to for decades. Folks better feet a grip on the false doctrines and the agenda of the green new deal. All lies!
The man is out of his mind…How does he propose we power all of these vehicles? Certainly not with Solar and Wind…They can’t even keep the lights on now with ‘green energy’.
Climate change is the biggest bull ever invented by the insane idiot woke generation.
There is only one who regulates our environment and we call him –GOD!!
If we distance ourselves to HIM–then we will be doomed. Return to GOD and we will have peace & prosperity guaranteed.
Get ready for a mass exodus.
Less residents, California will have to raise taxes, hence their tax and spend policies.
Sanctuary state.
All the wealthy leftist liberals will be able to handle the added taxes.
I agree with Patty that it will not happen. The infrastructure is not there nor will it be unless many more electric generating plants are put on line. Considering the unreliable and environmentally hurtful nature of both wind and solar electricity demand would bring this country to a complete standstill!!
I was a long haul trucking company owner/operator – California is a big produce state – refridgerated trailers normally run on diesel power – NO electric vehicle will ever replace the trucks in use today(diesel power) electric vehicles will never be able to stand up to what is needed to move freight successfully
Wait a minute – isn’t the electric grid so fragile now that they asked people not to charge their electric cars at some point last year. Leftists are real dolts when it comes to their new religion of Climate Change!
don’t forget air conditioners as well
It would be better to ban liberals.
Not worth the effort to read. Those idiots are killing their own economy. Let them have at it. If anyone is dumb enough to go along with that chaos, you deserve what’s coming you way.
