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 it’s 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.”

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.

I think you are right.
What will happen in year one...is that they discover in traffic jams in the summer...you still run the car for the purpose of the AC unit. The more heat...the more draw upon the battery for the AC unit. You can figure tow-truck drivers will be dragging a minimum of 2-million cars in during year one, when they ran out of juice.
"In 2014, Ting announced his support for a $100 million property tax-break for large corporations in San Francisco's Mid-Market District.[10] Just a few months later, he used his position as Chairman of the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee to deny a vote on a popular tax-break for veterans organizations despite it costing only a few hundred thousand dollars. The tax-break was killed due to Ting's actions drawing the anger of veteran organizations.[11][12]"
This hate filled scumbag has made all his money being a professional Chinaman. The Sunset, where he lives, used to be a nice, breezy (and foggy) part of San Francisco with a lot of middle class people. That was 30 years ago. Now it's Asia minor.
If he wants electric cars it's because he thinks some Chinese company will get the business, because that's all this racist foreigner cares about.
Who compels us to call this guy an "American"?
Nothing could be further from the truth. He has nothing to do with us.
I'm sure the Cali lawmakers will make sure any new cars that are brought in from out of state will not be eligible to be registered.
“MADNESS ! They will put millions of people out of work and drive their economies into the toilet. Crazy bastards.”
And when the last handful of cars and their owner holdouts retreat to a mountain redoubt, theyll send in swat. Bring Lon Horiuchi out of retirement. Fricken cops would enforce any horseshit law their political masters ordered.
Whatever happened to electric typewriters?
Phil lacks the intellect to write a bill or create a concept.
At best, Phil is a copycat, a plagerist
It’ll be like the lightbulbs. This just means California will be buying their new gas and oil burning cars from outside the US. So, Californians will be driving Yugos in 2040 and they’ll be calling it “cutesy” and “retro”. Yup, crazy.
They can capture cow flatulence and use that. Win-Win, renewable energy and the Pacific ocean will not flood Los Angelis.
Coal power plants are scrubbed of their SO2 emissions. Just sayin.
Under current Federal Law CA can’t do that. I moved into CA and brought in an out of state car. The state imposed a sizable tax/fee on my car as it was from out of state. The state was sued for violating the law around interstate commerce and lost so I got my money back with interest.
“Many of us live where electric cars can not get us to where we have to go and home without a recharge and there is no place to recharge them along the way.”
See now you are way to logical! Some enterprising person will deliver a charged battery to you when your’s runs out of renewable energy on the road. He will have to do it in his 15,000 ton fuel-efficient diesel truck. Every problem created by liberals has a solution, but it usually doesn’t fit their narrative.
Move to the cities now to secure a public transportation pass!

Heard that legislators only have to serve "one" term to qualify for retirement benefits. What a gravy train!
At hyway speed, a model S will travel about 295 miles, at 70 deg F, on flat roadways on a full charge. A full charge is about 76 KWH (the other is a buffer to get to 85). So that is 3.88 miles or 6.25 Km per 1 Kwh of electricity. Each Kwh = 1.64kg of greenhouse gasses. 78 times 1.64 = 124.24 kg. or 273 pounds.
A gasoline car will go 300 miles on 8 gallons of gasoline. 8 gallons times 20 pounds of total exhaust gasses per gallon =160 pounds of gasses, or 9.07kg/mile or 522lbs total.
Add in the environmental costs to manufacture the batteries and vehicle and they get close to being the same.
Well if the government can MAKE us buy health insurance, who thought they would stop there? No me..
The problem is where will all the electricity come from to charge the cars batteries?
CA could have done something like this if they hadn’t abandoned nuclear power, but they don’t like fossil fuels, solar and wind together won’t fill the bill, and the “envirowhackos” are trying for all they are worth to deconstuct all our dams and their co-located power generating stations. Maybe they weill figure out how to fart in a jar, because as it stands today, CA doesn’t have enough generating capacity to provide for our current electrical needs. Someone needs to show Ting the physics, but I don’t think it will matter.
It will not matter.
They only know green energy.
There is no such thing.....................
For the most part, our “leaders” have been liberals who crapped in their nests in the Northeast and then bopped out here because the weather is nice. And our Black population came from the Deep South to work in the defense plants located here during WWII, and decided a welfare check was way better than a bus ticket home. In the 1950’s Mexicans came here to work in agriculture, but they went home after the harvests were over. Now the liberals have made it such a good deal that they’ve decided to stay too.
There is currently a law suit in progress by the state of Maryland against the EPA for allowing power plant emissions from states west of them to cause damage in Maryland. My guess is that coal isn’t completely clean, but what level is achieved is beyond my knowledge base..
