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.

    Methane can and should be made with renewable energy

    What we need to do is ban the sale of hydrogen and gas that’s extracted from the ground, not attack machines that can burn carbon neutral chemical energy

    Edit: article is about petrol. Silly US Americans referring to liquid as gas

      article is about petrol. Silly US Americans referring to liquid as gas

      Petrol is short for “petroleum” which can be many products

      Gas is short for “gasoline” which is a specific product
