California Governor Gavin Newsom Bans Sale Of Gas-Powered Cars In State By 2035 - I'm sure poor people will be able to afford electric cars by then.

I'm sure people won't just buy their cars in the surrounding states and drive back to California.

Also, Teslas should be cheap enough for poor people in 15 years.

“We need bold action,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday. Shortly before that statement, Newsom lived up to those words by issuing an executive order mandating that all new passenger vehicles sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035.

The governor said bluntly, “CA is phasing out the internal combustion engine. By 2035 every new car sold in CA will be an emission free vehicle.”

“Of all the simultaneous crises that we face,” Newsom announced, “the biggest is the climate crisis.” His goal, he said, was to “detoxify the economy.”

By 2045, the governor announced, trucks would need to adhere to the standards, as well. But a later statement from Newsom’s office said medium- and heavy-duty vehicles would be required to transition “where feasible.”

“You can still keep your internal combustion cars,” said the governor. “You can still trade them, sell them. We are not taking them away.”

“This is the most impactful step our state can take to fight climate change,” Newsom continued. “For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe. You deserve to have a car that doesn’t give your kids asthma. Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse – and create more days filled with smoky air. Cars shouldn’t melt glaciers or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines.”

In a statement, the governor’s office maintained that the transition “would achieve more than a 35 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and an 80 percent improvement in oxides of nitrogen emissions from cars statewide.”

He said the transportation sector in CA represents more than 50% of its emissions. In terms of reducing emissions overall, Newsom maintained, “We can’t get there unless we accelerate our actions in the transportation sector.”

“We will move forward to green our fleet here in the state,” he said.

Currently California has 34 manufacturers of eclectic vehicles, reported the governor. The state’s second largest export, said Newsom, is electric vehicles. “This is an economic opportunity,” he said. He also insisted that the mandate was for zero-emission vehicles, and was not specific to all-electric vehicles.

Newsom’s power to issue the executive order comes via his stewardship of the California Air Resources Board. When asked why he didn’t seek legislative action instead, Newsom said, “This moment demands leadership. It demands movement.”

“This is the next big global industry,” declared Newsom, “and California wants to dominate it.”

Coincidentally — or maybe not coincidentally — Tesla founder Elon Musk on Tuesday shared a photo of the company’s new all-electric semi.

“Bill Ford gets it,” said of the Ford Motor Company scion. “Honda, Volvo, BMW get it.” He said those companies are investing billions and billions of dollars in meeting the Obama-era emissions standard, despite the fact that President Trump rolled it back.

He also highlighted the fact that Volkswagen had on Wednesday introduced its first all-electric SUV, the ID.4, which VW says is an “SUV that’s meant to bring electric vehicles to the mainstream.”

The governor said the state would incentivize adoption of the vehicles “through credits…through rebates.”

Newsom said he was also looking to inaugurate “a just transition” for the state’s many petroleum-producing companies. He said fracking in California would be phased out, but hinted there would be help for local businesses in that sector.

On September 8, Newsom spoke strongly about climate change and the need for action.

“Extreme fire events that we believe are climate-induced,” said the governor, require stronger commitments from state, local and federal governments.

When challenged on the cause of the fires, Newsom ticked off a list of extraordinary climate-related factors coming together this year including, “unprecedented temperatures, a heat dome, 14,000 lightning strikes over a 24-hour period and 150 million-plus dead trees related to a multi-year drought.”

He added: “I have no patience for climate-change deniers. It’s inconsistent with the reality on the ground, the facts.”

At that time the state had seen a record 2.6 million acres burned by wildfires. As Newsom made his announcement on Tuesday, that number had grown to 3.7 million acres.

Newsom previously spoke directly to President Donald Trump at a joint appearance about his environmental concerns. The president then dismissed comments by scientists about the need for action.

Maybe what should happen is that the leadership of this state should examine how its policies have been an absolute cluster fuck and caused the issues this idiot is trying to pass off as due to climate change. He knows he is full of shit as well. That is why he makes it an absolute issue. I won't listen to blah blah...

California is doomed if people do not wise up and stop electing people who believe bold action is to destroy their economy, to limit power sources, and to further strain their already breaking infrastructure.

Does this fucking dumbass think PG&E is going to have their shit together more in 15 years?

Where are you going to charge those cars during rolling blackouts?

 

[Absolutego]

The day that Gavin Newsom and his clique of cronies finally get run out of California will be a good day for the state as a whole.

They'll just elect someone dumber and even more corrupt. This is the state that replaced Arnold with Jerry Brown's corpse.

California needs to wake up to the fact you can absolutely have your cake and eat it too, but it requires actually embracing technology instead of being Greenpeace "save the whales but only in the specific ways we approve of" faggots.

Specifically, I'm talking about massive hydroelectric and nuclear projects. California needs to nationalize (state-zionalise?) the grid to get rid of PGE, then go full fucking ham on generation capacity. Nuclear, tidal, solar, wind, throw everything at it. Look at Sweden, they converted almost entirely to carbon free nuclear in less than two decades.

Poor people don't buy new cars anyways (and if they do they deserve to stay poor). And hopefully by 2035 used electric cars are a thing.

The A&H reflexive autism about "quiet car bad" is pretty funny though.

Electric cars don't age well, don't last long, and aren't nearly as repairable as your average Corolla or Civic.

No wonder his wife left him spoke at the RNC.

There's a lot less to go mechanically wrong on an electric cars. Long life batteries are still a work in progress, but there's been a lot of good development on that. And once electrics are a significant portion of the fleet, battery recycling will reduce costs substantially.

You can take your electric cars and fucking shove it bugman. Have fun electrocuting yourself to death working (lol) on your Tesla.

I snowboard a lot and did a road trip to CO from CA and back and for much of it there were zero electric charging stations. Also I don't remember seeing any Teslas up when it was storming in the Rocky Mountains.

Electric cars are objectively superior technology and A&H only hates them because of libruls

The environmental impact of electric vehicles is absolutely atrocious compared to a normal gas vehicle being used for 20 years. Saying otherwise makes you ignorant or malicious. Batteries are incredibly toxic and destructive throughout their life, from the mining of the rare earth elements to what recycling can be done with the remains, and that's certainly nowhere close to the total lifetime of the average gas vehicle.

You obviously don't live somewhere it gets cold. When it's -20F my sister's Fusion Hybrid drops from 43mpg to 26 because the batteries don't work.

Electric cars are useless unless you live in the south or don't leave the house during winter months.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

Very optimistic of him, thinking that by 2035 there's still gonna be people living in California.

I'm hoping that Cali gets hit by an earthquake so big it rips it off the entire USA to where it becomes like another Hawaii where we acknowledge it exists but that's about it.

It's the same way from the mountains of southeastern California to Ft. Stockton, Texas. This guy wants us to be food for the vultures.

Dude, you're an glownigger, and you know it.

No, they aren't. They are overly complex and hackable to a huge degree. If you can't open your car up and fix a basic problem without the risk of it exploding in your face then why would anyone want it? I still see cars from the 40s on a regular basis driving around too, I don't think a Tesla would last more than a few years before it's a hyper expensive brick.

So?

The mining for cobalt happens in Africa. Let's not pretend A&H suddenly cares about child labor in the Congo. The mining for lithium is being insourced to Nevada because it turns out lithium is fucking everywhere. And the tailpipe emissions depends HEAVILY on your local electricity supply.

But the thing is, I don't actually care that much. CO2 from civilian cars is a tiny fraction of CO2 emissions. I like electric cars because they're quiet as fuck and out accelerate any ICE car, not for environmental reasons.

Sorry, guys.

I just found that this is not one of my American glowniggers.

He's British. Feel free to insult him as I write out his pink slip.

 

[verissimus]

I see no way to really enforce this. Good job Newsom.

Of course not especially if he isn't governor still or by then (I don't know if they have term limits in California).

Canadian, and still objectively right. Call me when an ICE car holds the record on a major track again lol.

California is already not grandfathering certain classes of commercial trucks. As in, starting in 2021 they're not going to allow certain vehicles to be registered, vehicles that have been on the road fine for years.

Here's a video about a truck that had been in service fifteen years and they have to sell out of state. Didn't really explain the change in the law, posting mostly for the title.

To skip all the gearhead shit, start the video here for the brief explanation of the change in law.

That's fucking stupid, there isn't an electric vehicle in that size class even available yet.
