California Governor Signs Order Banning Sales Of New Gasoline Cars By 2035
California will phase out the sale of all gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035 in a bid to lead the U.S. in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the state's drivers to switch to electric cars.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Wednesday that amounts to the most aggressive clean-car policy in the United States. Although it bans the sale of new gas cars and trucks after the 15-year deadline, it will still allow such vehicles to be owned and sold on the used-car market.
Regardless of whether you think the policy is good or bad, isn't there something missing here?
Like the democratic process? Did I miss something where California now allows it's governor to set policy by dictat?
And isn't there some general principle about not being able to bind future legislatures on top of that in our legal system?
I find it strange a "journalist" would write an entire article on this without questioning these things, but did not see it mentioned in the few articles I read on this.
He's using powers the legislature agrees with or has given him, generally, or the constitution has. The legislature is in agreement with things like this. And so are the voters.
This seems a particularly silly defense of passing laws by executive decree.
Then I don't need to bother helping you.
In this we can agree since I'm obviously not the one that needs help.
I predict a few lawsuits between now and 2035 over this
That wrong post is the last one I plan to see from you.
Lulz. The state doesn't have enough electricity because of too much reliance on "clean" energy and now they want all cars to run on electricity. Shit show in a clown car.
