California 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.

Can he throw an executive order out 15 years?

I can just imagine a road trip to say Arizona with a battery car..not. I bet the vision is that you would not do that but take a diesel train and then rent a gas powered car in arizona..not

Counting the days to leave CA. So sad, on one hand, because I've lived here all my life.
So excited, on the other hand, to start life out from under this numbskull's reign of lockdown. He thinks Cali is hot in the summer...where he's eventually going it's a furnace 24/7 for eternity. Better repent, Gavin.
Busting out of here soon!

Another nail in the coffin of a once-great state, brought to you by the criminal socialists of the Democrat party. They destroy everything they touch - and the Californians voted them in.
Hey, California: embrace the suck.

California can't produce enough electricity to keep the lights on all day during hot weather. California regulates the electricity-producing companies to the point where they can't afford to clear brush under their high-tension lines, causing some of their wildfires. Now the brilliant Governor Newsom thinks they are doing so well they should require all vehicles to be powered by electricity. California, please secede from the Union.

Gavin is ok with making consumer buying choices. I wonder if Californians appreciate having their buying choices made for them by Gavin Newsom.

Yet another reason to get out of this absolutely insane state that will be a 3rd world country well before 2035. We are packing right now. I'm a 2nd generation native Californian and I can't wait to get out of this loony bin. California left me long before I'm leaving it.

Shucks. I'm 54, my parents are in their 80's. I've lived in the beautiful state my entire life and never wanted to leave but this is going to send my husband over the edge. We're going to have to bring my parents with us.
Texas, Idaho, North Carolina or Oklahoma... here we come!

Lifelong (62 years) resident of California here. We bought our Idaho home last year, now just waiting out elderly in-laws here, then we're gone. it was a great place to grow up, raise a family, and build a business. But the writing has been on the wall for a long time.

The governor, and the State Assembly and Senate members, along with all City, State and County employees, can start buying electric vehicles right now, if they choose.
Just like Medicare for All, they are free to adopt such a program for themselves and all State, City and County employees starting next year, if they really wanted to.
Wait until they also install self-driving vehicles, which means they will control the means of passage along every road, highway, byway, and boulevard.
You won't be able to just go where you want, unless you pay the road fees for passage - just watch.

The leftists are doing everything in their power to ruin California. But so far they haven't figured out how to destroy the Pacific Ocean. They tried to shut it down for a while, but as of yet lack a more enduring plan.
This native Orange Countian is staying -- for now at least.

BWAHAHAHAHA! I suppose he thinks that Wishful Thinking and Magic will replace fossil fuel powered cars and trucks in 15 years. These are the same IDIOTS who curtailed forestry management in the interests of "nature" and "climate change"....only to see the particulate matter from the Cali wildfires contribute MORE to climate change than ALL the gas powered vehicles in Cali combined! Christ, what IDIOTS.

#19 they actually protect the Pacific by send all our agricultural and drinking water out to the ocean before it can be used.. It's to save a tiny smelt (fish) which, to them, is more important than the people.

I had on interesting conversation with some native Californians (siblings) from Humboldt Co. (far NorCal) Their family has been here for generations - they are all now ready to leave. Four different families. They are being driven out. California is losing all of the sensible people.

I see a great business opportunity. You can own a gas powered care but not buy one in Cali? Set up a car dealership that sells cars to Cali residents here in Arizona and then register them in Cali once you own them for a day in AZ.

By 2035, the remaining gas powered cars will be like those beautiful 50's and 60's cars in Cuba. Classic on the outside and junk under the skin.

Check out the California urban freeways during weekdays, do you really think that with all the wind power created electricity that California will be able to generate in 2035, that California will have enough electricity to make all those cars operating on the freeways run?

It's past time for the whole fetid mess to drop off into the ocean anyway, which is fine because anyone with any sense has left or is leaving. I can't possibly be bothered to care anything about what happens in or to the former Golden State. Good riddance.

Truly awesome magical thinking. I predict that California will look exactly like Cuba within 10 years after this is implemented. Classic old gas-powered cars everywhere. Electric cars abandoned all along every highway during weeks-long power outages.
And if Arizona and Nevada are smart they'd Jack up the rates they charge California for power transmission starting now.

Should really help with the signature drive on the recall petition. Wasn't going too well but now it should take off. Raising the car tax is what pushed Gray Davis out, this is even better.

Better build 10 brand new nuclear power plants and string a whole bunch of new power lines. Either nuclear or start drilling & fracking for natural gas right now to run the new conventional power plants to charge all those batteries.

Ahhh, the stupidity, it burns!
California is like the Democrats version of Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again
As soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels
No axes, saws nor picks
I'm goin' to stay
Where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Due to conversion inefficiencies and transmission losses, as much green house gases are generated from powering electric cars as from internal combustion engines cars. Not to mention the pollution equivalent of 80K miles of driving pollution caused by mining rare earth metals for the batteries.
