California's Gavin Newsom Bans Gas-powered Vehicles, Effective 2035
2020-09-24
[BREITBART] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Governor Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that the state will ban sales of gas-powered vehicles, effective in 2035. Newsom said that the "audacious" goal was necessary to achieve the state’s goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.Newsom said that his new executive order would "eliminate" the sales of "internal combustion engines" and move to electric vehicles — a move that he said would create jobs and allow California to "dominate" the market, and address climate change. Those who currently own gas-powered vehicles would still be allowed to operate them and to sell them on the used market.

2035 happens to be the same year that former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
 has set as a deadline for the U.S. to eliminate fossil fuels from electricity production, five years later than originally proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in her "Green New Deal." Ocasio-Cortez led the climate change panel on the "Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force" earlier this year.

Newsom cited ongoing wildfires, as well several recent record-breaking high temperatures in the state, in explaining his push for "ambitious goals" — though he did not explain how reducing local emissions would affect global climate enough to affect local temperatures. California currently emits 1% of the world’s carbon emissions despite being the sixth-biggest economy.
