NY state to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars and trucks by 2035

Gas guzzlers, be gone!

Say goodbye to your beloved pickup truck. Legislation recently signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul bans the sale of new gas-powered cars and trucks by 2035.

Last week, Governor Hochul announced the proposed ban as a part of her initiative to reduce climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

“New York is implementing the nation’s most aggressive plan to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions affecting our climate and to reach our ambitious goals, we must reduce emissions from the transportation sector, currently the largest source of the state’s climate pollution,” Governor Hochul said in a new release. “The new law and regulation mark a critical milestone in our efforts and will further advance the transition to clean electric vehicles while helping to reduce emissions in communities that have been overburdened by pollution from cars and trucks for decades.”

Are they going to ban people from buying gasoline-powered cars in neighboring states? I hope the New York state GOP can use stupid stuff like this to regain competitiveness.

Great, people will go across state lines to buy them. Kind of like making a beer run to Idaho back in the day.

That would be my first choice.

Evidently. That is what we did in Illinois for decades when they raised the taxes on gas...we just took a drive across the river and filled up in Missouri. Then due to the difference in sales taxes on other things, we shopped there, too.

They should ban all gas powered vehicles from entering NY state to prove how very progressive they are. There won’t be any trucks to deliver food, but they can virtue signal like nobody’s business.

At least NYC is supposed to be underwater by then, right?

Legislation? So this bill passed the state legislature?

New Yorkers should not be allowed to move out of state. Let them ALL rot in the cesspool they created.

Wouldn’t it be more straightforward to just eliminate all ‘Rats in NYS in pursuit of CO2 reductions?

I thought AOC already declared that the world will be dead from climate change by then?

“...recently signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul ...”

Yet another communist split tail like Whitmer, Brown, Grisham etc makes an appearance. They want to be seen as equal in stupidity and evil as so many of their male counterparts.

If people cross state line to buy gas-powered cars, the next step will be the banning of gas stations.
