California is expected to ban the sale of new gasoline vehicles by 2035 as the state takes dramatic steps to reduce emissions and combat the 'climate emergency'. In a vote on Thursday, state regulators are expected to approve a plan to phase out the sale of gas-powered cars over the next 13 years in America’s largest auto market. The move is being hailed as a major victory that could point the way forward for others.
“This is monumental,” said Daniel Sperling, a member of the California Air Resources Board (Carb), to CNN. “This is the most important thing that Carb has done in the last 30 years. It’s important not just for California, but it’s important for the country and the world - even for New Jersey.”
The governor of Fruitloopia has hailed the plan as a crucial step to address the climate emergency, which has fueled costly and destructive natural disasters in the state.
“This is the most impactful step our state can take to fight climate change,” Newsom said at the time. “Californians shouldn’t have to worry if our cars are giving our kids asthma. Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse - and create more days filled with smoky air. Cars shouldn’t melt glaciers (yes - he really did say that) or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines.”



35% of all cars zero emissions ? does this include the places that make the electricity that recharges the "zero emission "cars ? asking for a friend.
