Twelve Governors Call on Joe to Mandate Electric Cars by 2035
[Rooters] The governors of a dozen U.S. states including California, New York, Massachusetts and North Carolina called on President Joe Biden on Wednesday to back ending sales of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035, a dramatic shift away from fossil fuels.Say, wasn't that when all the glaciers were going to be melted? The governors, which also include those of Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington State and Rhode Island, urged Biden to set standards "to ensure that all new passenger cars and light-duty trucks sold are zero-emission no later than 2035 with significant milestones along the way to monitor progress." Where are they going to get the power to run those vehicles? Nuclear power plants? Windmills?  They argued that "by establishing a clear regulatory path to ensuring that all vehicles sold in the United States are zero-emission, we can finally clear the air and create high-road jobs."Remember Solyndra's 'high-road' jobs? Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan calls for $174 billion in spending and tax credits to boost electric vehicles (EVs) and charging networks but does not call for phasing out gasoline-powered passenger vehicles. C'mon, Man! You gotta get with the New Green Program! The governors also want Biden to set standards and adopt incentives aimed at ensuring 100% zero-emission sales of medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles by 2045. I'm not sure I want to live another 25 years to see that. Could you speed it up 10-15 years? Posted by: Bobby 2021-04-23 |
