Virginia AG says state bound by California rule phasing out new gas-powered cars

The Hill ^ | August 29, 2022 | Zack Budryk

[Leep]

Pass a new law?

[Red Badger]

The rule on new gas-powered vehicles does not apply to used cars or restrict the use of existing gas-powered cars.

Not yet, anyways.......................

Virginia is for Monkeypox Lovers

[ComputerGuy]

Let’s pull some anti-trust stuff and break California up.

[Jonty30]

Why is any one state bound by any other state to do anything?

[albie]

“The Attorney General is hopeful that the General Assembly repeals this law and discontinues any trend that makes Virginia more like California,”

...this would suck. I live in VA. If they can’t do something I’m gone.

[kiryandil]

Donkeypox lovers, too.

[kiryandil]

Stolen "elections" have consequences.

Amazing how hard it is for the Donkeypoxers to steal elections when they're being watched [Youngkin and Sears].

[exnavy]

Yeah, that’s smart.

[blackdog]

California killed the VW Bug, the MGB, Triumph lineup, Isuzu Pickups, and who knows what else with "regulation".

Sorry. Foot needs to go down here.

[teeman8r]

if california wants to jump off the cliff, so be it... why link virginia’s fate to the fruits and nuts of california.

[for-q-clinton]

One seat short in the Senate I think. They stole a close one from teh GOP to keep control.

“The Attorney General is hopeful that the General Assembly repeals this law and discontinues any trend that makes Virginia more like California,” LaCivita told The Hill in an email. “Unelected California bureaucrats should not be dictating the will of Virginians.”

[Antoninus]

Gee, I can’t figure out how to fix this problem. Duh....

[roving]

Because that was the way they voted for it?

[FreeReign]

Pass a new law?

It may even be anti Virginia constitutional.

[TLI]

Why would the prog be going on about barring the sale of new gas-powered cars in 2035 when the world is going to collapse in 10 years or so?

.

[hanamizu]

So the Virginia General Assembly, while under democrat control, passed a law making Virginia subject to the rules made by an unelected board 3000 miles away that is appointed by the governor of another state. How is such an abrogation of state constitutional duty even possible?
