BREAKING: California to BAN Sales of Gas-Powered Vehicles

Just days after Democrats passed a sweeping law that mandates "green energy" policies and spends a whopping $370 billion on wind, solar and "carbon sequestration" in an effort to "slow climate change," America's largest state is about to up the ante with a unprecedented move.

California on Thursday is expected to put into effect its sweeping plan to prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035, a stunning move to force a national mandate for electric vehicles.

The move comes despite critics warning that the state's power grid could not even power 10% of its cars being electric, let alone 100%.

And just months ago, California utilities operators had to beg residents to avoid charging electric cars amid power grid strain during a heat wave.

Liberals however, are ecstatic over the move:

“This is huge,” said Margo Oge, an electric vehicles expert who headed the Environmental Protection Agency’s transportation emissions program under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. “California will now be the only government in the world that mandates zero-emission vehicles. It is unique.”

NYTimes has more:

The rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board, will require that 100 percent of all new cars sold in the state by 2035 be free of the fossil fuel emissions chiefly responsible for warming the planet, up from 12 percent today. It sets interim targets requiring that 35 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in the state by 2026 produce zero emissions. That would climb to 68 percent by 2030.

The restrictions are important because not only is California the largest auto market in the United States, but more than a dozen other states typically follow California’s lead when setting their own auto emissions standards.

“They will get to live in the world apart, where we cannot even visit.”.
So we will be Uighur’s with nicer digs.

“Will this be the thing that destroys the state?”

I hope so. And I live in Cali.

[drwoof]

It’s almost as if that’s their goal or something...

[jeffersondem]

“And I live in Cali.”

You are a good guy. Please get out while you can.

but there's no doubt they are plain ignorant of the facts surrounding the viability of electric vehicles.

I don't think they're so much unaware of the facts as they simply don't WANT to believe them. In their fantasy world physics is mutable if you just believe hard enough. And the goal - which is limiting the mobility of Americans and has NOTHING to do with saving the planet- is so important that lies are perfectly acceptable as a means to the totalitarian socialist end.
