Well, coming from the Daily Mail UK which tends to exaggerate pretty much everything. I doubt this will actually happen, and if it does, those lawmakers will have to backtrack. Customers will just go to another state to buy their cars, which will result in loss of revenues due to less state tax collected. Also, the amount of incentives to buy electric vehicles would have to end. I really think electric vehicles are the way to go, but not yet, and not very soon. Gas powered vehicles burn much more effectively than years ago, are cheaper to make, and don’t depend on China for lithium to make batteries. I don’t see the end of gas powered vehicles for another 30 - 40 years, unless some major development is made to reduce the cost and improve the mileage of evs. You simply cannot go on a road trip cross country with an ev, since there are very few charging stations, and too far apart. Not enough power plants either.
Don’t worry, our gubmint will have completely collapsed by then.
Earth worshipers are the stupidest people on the planet.
irreconcilable differences. Time for a divorce
They really think they’ll be around in 2035 ,LOL
8 states taken back by animals humans gone.
Are these states banning deliveries of good using gas-powered trucks? Hypocrites?
America’s monetary system, which supports leftist ideology with massive government debt and taxes, needs to collapse first.
Otherwise, there will be no change
Why would the Houthis do this to us?
I am shocked the Peoples Republic of Minnesota isn’t on this list. Last year our leftist majority Legislature toyed with a bill that would require all new lawn and garden equipment sold or distributed in Minnesota after Jan. 1, 2025, to be powered solely by electricity, In essence this would ban gas powered lawn mowers, leaf blowers, hedge clippers, chainsaws, lawn edgers, string trimmers, and brush cutters. Though gasoline powered Zamboni machines used to resurface the ice at hockey rinks were added to the proposed list of contraband equipment, even the leftists in the Legislature could not stomach extending a ban to include gasoline powered snow blowers. Perhaps the experience this past winter where EV charging stations became graveyards for frozen EV batteries, might have given the leftist loons pause as the typical Minnesota winters could easily freeze every EV in the state.
"8 states are planning to BAN the sale of gas-powered cars entirely - after Biden unveiled ambitious plans to phase them out by 2032 (usual suspects)"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The problem with renegade states has never been the states themselves imo, but the worthless federal government that refuses to do its constitutionally enumerated duty to guarantee each state a republican form of government.
"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
Majority in new poll say Biden, most members of Congress don’t deserve new term: Gallup (2.2.24)
Voters Doubt Biden’s Leadership and Favor Trump, Times/Siena Poll Finds (3.2.24)
70% of New York voters say Biden not fit to serve another term: poll (2.20.24)
This is why the tsunami of Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November that will support Trump to not only finish draining the swamp, but will also support Trump to give each state a representative government.
The 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) need to disappear too.
All Lefty states.
Horses and buggies are back. The Amish will be pleased.
I live in Cal and have already purchased one of those 15 mile extension cords. Try Lowes, HD was out of stock.
Well, Virginia Senate passed legislation that ties Virginia’s elimination of gas-powered cars to whatever California does (I know, weird) so you can add the state of Virginia to the list.
"If you like your car, you can keep your car!"
Used ICE vehicles will be had at a premium.
Will the battery cars get their fuel from "zero emission" sources, too...or from coal-fired power plants?
Or...get an Amish Uber...
