Summary
The Biden administration will allow California to ban new gas-powered car sales by 2035, with 11 other states following. This uses a Clean Air Act waiver permitting stricter state-level pollution controls to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Trump plans to revoke the waiver, roll back EV tax credits, and fight California’s climate policies, potentially sparking legal battles.
California, leading the U.S. in EV adoption, aims to “Trump-proof” its agenda, bolstered by automaker deals and strong market influence.
The ban could accelerate EV investments, shaping nearly half of the U.S. auto market and global climate policy trends.
Cool, what does that have to do with making cars needed for most low income houses (if you have transit available you are very lucky in NA) then banning the cheap ones while subsidizing the costly and more environmentally damaging ones to produce all while gaslighting the public into thinking climate change is their fault and not on the massive companies (who also get exemptions and loopholes us little guys don’t)?
Damn, I never should have said the solution was more cars and gaslighting the public.
