(The Center Square) - New Jersey will require car manufacturers to ramp up sales of electric vehicles leading to a ban on the sale of new fossil fuel-powered vehicles by 2035 under new rules proposed by Gov. Phil Murphy.
Murphy announced on Monday that he has filed the Advanced Clean Cars II proposal with the Office of Administrative Law that would, if approved, require vehicle manufacturers to make zero-emission vehicles an increasing percentage of their new light-duty vehicle sales, ramping up to 100% of vehicle sales by 2035.
By doing so, New Jersey joins New York, California and the European Union in banning new gas vehicle sales by 2035.
Murphy called the move a "commitment to every New Jersey family and the air they breathe" and said it "recognizes that New Jersey is just one crucial piece of our global response to climate change."
Murphy claims the new mandate won't impose any obligations on consumers or car dealers and provides "compliance flexibilities" for manufacturers, including a credit trading mechanism.
He has also signed New Jersey on to the Accelerating to Zero Coalition’s Zero Emission Vehicle Declaration, a global pact that will commit the state to a zero-emission vehicle future.
The Murphy administration says it has allocated $75 million to help meet demand for installation of EV charging stations at businesses, multi-unit residential buildings and public locations.
"As New Jersey continues experiencing the adverse impacts of climate change, we have the power and obligation to reduce its effects by limiting the emissions of climate pollutants," Shawn M. LaTourette, the state's environmental protection commissioner. said in a statement. “Through the adoption of zero-emissions vehicle standards, New Jersey can reduce its greatest source of climate damaging emissions, improve air quality and public health, and support a growing cleantech marketplace that will create...

These clowns need to recognize that EVs are a fad.
No luck on the generators....

In my area (a dozen miles west of Manhattan) you can see the Replacement Americans bicycling to their under-the-table jobs at restaurants and car washes each morning; they are increasingly graduating to motorized scooters and bikes (customizing them to move much faster than legally allowed without requiring registration as motor vehicles). The problem is the weather here isn’t conducive to that for much of the year.
We are importing a Third world population that finds this arrangement acceptable, while the Americans flee or accept dying without breeding. As long as it is better than the Third world dumps from which these replacements are enticed, they will come; Western Europeans no longer even seek to come here.
That is the real goal - to eliminate private car ownership. The elites don’t want to force you to buy an overpriced, limited-range EV; they want you out of cars altogether.
Much of the resistance is from younger leftists who couldn’t imagine themselves being preyed upon using the mass transit system.
“When are the People going to stand up and fight against these environmental nazi’s and kick them out of office?”
Ans. Never. They are boiling the frog slow enough that people just accept it.
Look at the garbage that the populations of NYC, LA, San Fran just accept, and apparently keep voting for the same.
“The people” don’t generally do anything. Elites do what they want, and the people generally just go along.
The only way this stops is if a counter-elite get formed, and get fed up and act to overthrow the current group.
A counter-elite may lead the people in revolt, but every Revolution is top-down not bottom-up.
The other variation of “replacement of elites” would be a Caesar (and his allies) seizing power.
