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.
So, used prices go up more?
I can’t see any issues with the pending affordability among people who can not afford a $60k plus car in a car dependent nation like the states…
The solution is public transit. Climate change will hurt the poor even more.
When was the last time any US state expanded its public transit…
California allocated over $1.3 billion in October 2024 for 27 public transportation projects under its Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program.
How’s that transit in California doing?
Pretty well, I’m literally about to commute by rail right now. How do you think climate change 🔥 has been working out for us?
