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.

We are actually living in an age of a CO2 drought. Levels are rebounding, when they reach around 1,200 PPM it will likely fall the other way as temperatures fall. You see, atmospheric CO-2 is driven by temperature, not the cause of it.

There will be no gas to run it. They likely wouldn’t let you drive into their state even of there are gas stations. I was told 5 years ago in Virginia but the local government workers that there would be no more gas stations in our jurisdiction in 3 to 5 years. It’s a bigger plan.

I get the idea of not selling ICE cars at all.

You are already lost, and have lost the argument. If you can’t sell what you have, and can’t buy another. Your freedom is gone, you have become a servant of another. Not just a servant, but one that will never be free again. So much for living 15 miles from a store, move into that city that is miles wide, and a few hundred feet thick.

THIS is the future.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kz5vEqdaSc

California is nuts and every nutty mandate they create drives up cost everywhere because companies don't want to have two product lines, one for CA and the other for the rest of the USA and they also don't want to write of CA so we all just get things built to CA regulation standards. And so prices are higher for everything everywhere because of some leftists in Sacramento.

So the auto companies are going to have to decide what they want to do. Do they want to write of CA and just make cars for the rest of the USA? Have a small assortment of all-electric cars for CA (and anyone else who wants them) and make other more conventional cars still? Or force this on everyone everywhere? Probably the latter, they're already headed that way.

Imports getting more appealing.

The good news. . . . .

As gas consumption in California drops the supply available to the rest of the world will go up and prices should go down !

Let’s not forget, the citizens there voted for the imbeciles running the state into the ground.

The had a chance to start changing the dynamic by voting for Larry Elder but they let that opportunity slip by.

As a group - they deserve what they got!

I'd like them to get all their power from wind and solar, that will free up natural gas as well.

CA demographics and block voting is what drives the voting and consequently elects nutty Dems-back when Reagan was elected governor the state was 77% white , now it is so bad low they try to mask it by throwing in all Hispanics but the latest census shows that “white alone not Hispanic” is just 35% so what you get are the same politics you would get in Dem controlled cities-this is why Dems like the open border-they turned CA and now AZ, NM, NV and Co -they want to do the same to other states

How long before the democrats try to ban person to person sales of used gas powered vehicles (as they keep trying to do with guns)?

I can hear it now:

“We Must Close The Auto-Trader Loophole!”

Much of the pollution in California comes from China. The winds blow it across the ocean and it gets trapped in the mountains around Los Angeles.

Yes, this is what Urban Planners and architects are striving for along with most local governments—maybe not quite this severe (yet), but their vision is similar. Whats the point in saving planet if you never get to see it because your in a ensconced in a glass case for your entire life? These people are sick.

Let’s see how the residents will love waiting a couple of hours to charge their EV when their house is on fire (or about to be flooded) and they must bug out ASAP.

“Can I buy a gasoline powered vehicle in Nevada and import it into the state?”

You could but they would close down the gas gump!

The definition of insanity.

Reason #537 that I will give when asked why I am selling my overpriced CA home and retiring elsewhere...

They simply won’t let you register a gas powered car in Kalifornistan. No point in buying one unless you can rent an accommodation address in Nevada or Arizona. I foresee a business opportunity in those two states where someone has a house in NV or Az with about 500 Californians registering their cars at that address for say $200/ year and getting the plates mailed on. U-haul rental trucks has all of its trucks registered in AZ.

John Roberts will uphold it by calling it a “tax”.
