Perhaps we are better off starting with fundamentals like keeping our citizens from shitting in the streets. How’s about that?

ummm, so if they're making Californians turn off their A/C's now, then how the hell are they going to be able to support all the extra electric draw from all those cars plugged in day and night?

These people are complete mental cases! I'm sure he'll still be getting around in jets and helicopters. Socialism is for the people, not the socialists.

Hopefully a good earthquake breaks California off and sinks it into the ocean. Problem solved.

How desperate are these people for attention? To do something so outlandish and ridiculous.

They should ban factories that produce electric car batteries too. Very harmful for the environment.. they can just go back to horse and buggies.

It’s Democrat political pandering. The electric vehicle will evolve. When it gets to the point that people see a legitimate reason to buy them... they will. If that is by 2035, then it will take care of itself and Calif will have had nothing to do with it. By 2035 Calif will be dead economically with no business or tax paying population left anyway. In the mean time China and India will continue to spew gazillions of tons of pollution into the worlds atmosphere and the rising ocean will drown all the squatting bums in San Francisco. There’s always a silver lining. 😂

If you think this is bad just wait until November "if" things go the wrong way.

California will halt sales of new gasoline-powered passenger cars and trucks by 2035, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday, a move he says will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35% in the nation’s most populous state.

The proposed rule would not ban people from owning gas-powered cars or selling them on the used car market. But it would end the sales of all new gasoline-powered passenger cars and trucks in the state of nearly 40 million people.

California and the roughly dozen states that follow its lead on auto emissions standards make up a significant part of the U.S. auto market, giving the day’s move huge potential impact for the U.S. automobile industry as well as for long-term efforts against pollution and climate change, which is driven by fossil-fuel emissions. It also is likely to meet opposition from President Donald Trump, who wants to roll back tougher Obama-era auto emissions standards and is battling California to force it to comply.

California already has rules mandating a certain percentage of new car sales must be electric or zero-emission vehicles. This rule, if implemented, would make California the first U.S. state with a plan to phase them out completely.

At least 15 other countries have already made similar commitments, including Germany, France and Norway.

Newsom’s order directs the California Air Resources Board to develop and approve regulations to meet the 2035 deadline. He also ordered them to make a rule requiring all medium and heavy-duty trucks be 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2045 “where feasible.”

Newsom also directed state agencies to speed up development of charging stations across the state and called on the Legislature to eliminate new fracking licenses by 2024.

Fracking is a technique that allows energy companies to extract huge volumes of oil and gas from shale rock deep underground. It involves injecting high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals into rock. Fracking opponents say the chemicals involved threaten water supplies and public health.

California has a goal of relying 100% on clean, renewable energy by 2045. Gasoline and diesel-powered cars and trucks are the biggest impediment to reaching that goal as they account for more than half of the state’s carbon pollution.

The order comes as massive wildfires have burned a record 5,600 square miles (14,500 square kilometers) in California this year. Experts say the size and intensity of the fires are aided by warmer temperatures and years of drought brought on by climate change.

And quarter mile 11.2 .. so it’s the same as a regular hellcat.. period end of story. From a roll maybe it would take a regular hellcat. A Redeye, I highly doubt.

Gavin Newsom is a God damn nut job. Dems and Reps in CA would both do themselves a favor and shitcan this dude as soon as possible. Has he accomplished anything positive for that state, or has he just performed extremely well in being a pain in the ass?

The Blind Leading the Blind or should I say the Stupid leading the Stupider. As of 2018 there were 15.1 registered vehicles in the state of California. Now take that number to find out how much money will be lost from motor fuels taxes. The Gas tax is 82.2 cents a gallon and the average person drives 15K a year and the average car gets 20mpg to equal $616.50 collected taxes per vehicle. Now multiply that by the number of vehicles which equals 9 billion plus lost dollars not collected in taxes for one year the state of DUMB Politicians award. Oh thats right they we just tax the crap out of another citizens life to regain the lost taxes. I have not even factored the amount of money repair shops collect on parts repairs and or the other ICE related BIG Trucks motor fuels being far less efficient in fuel and far bigger mileage.

Highly educated usually goes hand in hand with highly brainwashed. Nowadays especially.
