Axios: “California Gov. Gavin Newsom is issuing an executive order that seeks to eliminate sales of new gasoline-powered cars in his state by 2035. California is the largest auto market in the U.S., and transportation is the biggest source of carbon emissions in the state and nationwide.”
“Newsom’s order would make California the first state in the U.S. to mandate the phase-out of gasoline-powered cars, although 15 countries as well as some major European cities have already done so. The move, if implemented, would mark one of the world’s most aggressive climate policies to stem emissions from vehicles and promote electric models. Driving the news: Newsom’s order demands that state regulators craft rules that require increasing sales of zero-emissions passenger cars and trucks, reaching the phase-out of sales of new fossil fueled-vehicles by 2035.”
