France and the United Kingdom are doing it. So is India. And now one lawmaker would like California to follow their lead in phasing out gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles.
When the Legislature returns in January, Assemblyman Phil Ting plans to introduce a bill that would ban the sale of new cars fueled by internal-combustion engines after 2040. The San Francisco Democrat said its essential to get California drivers into an electric fleet if the state is going to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets, since the transportation sector accounts for more than a third of all emissions.
The market is moving this way. The entire world is moving this way, Ting said. At some point you need to set a goal and put a line in the sand.

So let them build a few coal burning plants and a couple nuclear ones to provide the electricity.

You WILL buy only electric cards and you WILL believe that everyone else must do so in order to be morally upright! I don't care what this does to the acid rain problem down wind because all of those electric cars need to have their electricity generated by something we also hate. We will officially be pure!

How does the state plan to generate electricity after 2040. Batteries?

Does that include all of the gas guzzling FIRE ENGINES, AIRPLANES, and HELICOPTERS that fight their fires?

Today’s classic example of the insanity brought on by the chronic, no-cure, mental disease known as liberalism.

California wants to deny personal transportation to those not part of the Oligarchy.

California will be a Mexican state by 2040. I don’t think the folks in their nation’s capital in Mexico City will dig this.
