>California votes to take no action for at least 13 years, and then look at the issue again
I know it's very limited what Cali can actually do and they already do a lot and there are good arguments to do nothing. But I just hate these dumb long dated "commitments". They're how we got INTO this mess...
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoWhat are you suggesting here? The first line of the article is: > California air regulators voted Thursday to approve stringent rules that would ban the sale of new gasoline cars by 2035 and set interim targets to phase the cars out. edit to add even more detail: > The board's new rules would also set interim quotas for zero-emission vehicles, focusing on new models. Starting with 2026 models, 35% of new cars, SUVs and small pickups sold in California would be required to be zero-emission vehicles. That quota would increase each year and is expected to reach 51% of all new car sales in 2028, 68% in 2030 and 100% in 2035. The quotas also would allow 20% of zero-emission cars sold to be plug-in hybrids.
