More than 150 Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Joe Biden asking him to block a move by California to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035.

only applies to the sale of new cars and light trucks that run on gasoline. The new rules set deadlines for implementing a full ban as a way to help automakers come into compliance; by 2026 and 2030, respectively, electric cars must account for 35% and 68% of all new cars sold.

State regulators say the ban will greatly shrink the state’s environmental footprint and will benefit the health of residents. California’s Air Resources Board expects the state will save $13 billion in health care costs related to pollution, including 1,290 fewer cardiopulmonary deaths, 460 fewer hospital admissions for cardiovascular or respiratory illnesses and 650 fewer emergency room visits for asthma. To mitigate the strain on the U.S.

Republicans no one is listening to you

The party that is all about States Rights, until they aren’t. Have some vision for F&k sake.

more than 150 gas lobbyist owned politicians- there fixed it

Well cause why would old white men care about the future of the planet terrorist

Gotta love the party of sTaTEs RigHtS

Wrong idea, the grid needs to be updated, they should keep the ban in place and put pressure on CA to fix the grid. Removing the ban is more incentive to just keep the status quo, embrace life with even more rolling blackouts

Maybe the point is to upgrade the grid to support a more distributed, reliable and efficient network relying on wind and solar sustainable sources. Sunny California could easily find neighborhood rooftops to replace imported energy. As water sources cease to flow we need the new.

New gas or no gas Who writes these post nowadays? Are they outsourced to another country?

Don't do it, Joey B.!

Several major car companies already decided that ICE cars will soon be a thing of the past. It’s going to happen regardless of the stupid GOP.

Mind your own state's business. Isn't that what the goal is by GOP?

+1. Love $TSLA but there is no way one government prevents residents from driving whatever cars they want to.

Lol. That's a big FU.

Ford raises price of F-150 electric truck as inflation bitesFord Motor Co is raising the price of its electric truck F-150 Lightning Pro for the 2023 year model by nearly 11%, seeking to cushion the hit from ongoing supply chain snags and decades-high inflation, a spokesperson for the automaker said on Wednesday. Who would be dumb enough to to buy one as they can’t even pull a small trailer It's funny how the government wants to subsidize electric vehicles by giving people $6,000 tax credit for one. Then Ford in GM turn around and raise the price of their electric vehicles by $6,500... Amazing. Or their fake low price was never a reasonable expectation.
