During a portion of an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm praised California’s proposal to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 and said the plan “could be” a national model, but acknowledged that the price of electric vehicles has to come down and the power grid has to be expanded.
Host Elex Michaelson asked, “California made national headlines by becoming the first state to say, by 2035, we’re not going to have any gas-powered vehicles that are new that are being sold. You can still drive your old ones, but you can’t sell new ones. Do you like this concept?”

The issue is not EVs. The issue is how to manage an population no longer able to afford to drive.
TPTB want a population of walkers, bikers and mass transit users.
A little situational irony...
Yeah, for how to destroy your state and drive it in the ground.
“Granholm: California’s New Gas Vehicle Sale Ban ‘Could Be’ a National Model”
Correction, it WILL become the National Policy - but ONLY if the Democrats can convince enough Republican voters to sit at home so that their RINO loses to another Democrat. At this point, they are ONE VOTE short of mandating ELECTRIC cars and OUTLAWING gasoline cars.
I just don't get why a typical prog believes that everyone should be like them, think like them, live like them, vote like them...
They are the most vile, miserable and frustrated people.

Pushed my Chevy to the levee.
“walkers, bikers and mass transit users”
Ever since the end of WWII state, local and Federal governments have done everything in their power to get people to move out into the suburbs.
The make plenty of coves in the suburbs such that what would be a 5 minute walk becomes a 30 minute walk to the store.
Now we reverse that in less than a decade?
The trollies were all pulled up except as tourist attractions.
Bus service is now almost non-existent. A 20 minute drive becomes a 2.5 hour commute.
We don’t have decent train service (I’ve been in China, Japan, Australia, and most of Europe. We have by far the poorest train service of any place I have been).
The electrical infrastructure in some places is so bad that an eighth of an inch of ice can bring entire cities to a grinding halt.
Some cities have not replaced transformers in 70 years.
The last functioning nuclear power plant in the United States was built in Tennessee almost three decades ago.
So we do the “California model” people can’t get to work, restaurants won’t have diners, shops won’t have customers, tourism will be all but wiped out, factories will be starved for energy and will move to Asia.
So basically Secretary Granholm is either a complete idiot or she is actively working to sabotage the country or she is helping China to become the dominant country. Or all three.
sounds unconstitutional
and a recipe for tyranny
EV’s will limit our freedom and control our lives.
and they who buy the last ICE cars shall be KING...
Jenny Jenny phu cough. And take booteejudge with you.
Yes, especially in the cold states. That should turn the nation against dummycrats.
Yeah. Lectric is a hot seller on the Great Plains.
This woman is totally insane.
This will cause a stir imo
It’s almost as it would be were Granholm to fancy herself a national fashion model. Many would look at her in a swimsuit, most would not look back for a second glance!
I think Newscum likes the concept of getting “green” virtue signaling points now while some other governor deals with the fallout in 2035.
It’s going to cost California $5,800 per EV to upgrade the Grid enough to charge all those EVs. Every taxpayer in the state, no matter what or whether they drive, will be taxed to pay for that.
There are 31 million cars registered in California, not counting other vehicles.
That’s only $179,800,000,000 to go all EV cars.
National model—like the bullet train to nowhere?
