European Commission now banned the registration of cars with combustion engines by 2035

This video finally went through. I had to upload it with nothing written describing this video because it kept getting rejected by Instagram.

This video is about European Union. I know what is happening there is being implemented in the US too or to lookout for it starting to creep into US policy.

CNET 6/12/2024: 12 US States Are Planning to Ban the Sale of Gas-Powered Cars

California is gearing up to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars -- and now 11 more US states are playing follow the leader.

A measure approved by the California Air Resources Board back in August 2022 requires all new cars, SUVs and pickup trucks sold in the state to generate zero tailpipe
emissions by 2035. The policy won't take existing vehicles off the road, but automakers and car dealers will be restricted to selling electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids.

"Our cars shouldn't make wildfires worse -- and create more days filled with smoky air," California Gov. Gavin Newsom said. "Cars shouldn't melt glaciers or raise sea levels, threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines."

The state's Advanced Clean Cars II rule requires zero-emission vehicles to represent 35% of new cars and light trucks in lots by 2026, and then 68% by 2030, before reaching 100% in 2035.

When it comes to emissions, California is a leader: 11 other states that link their standards to California's have also announced plans to prohibit the sale of new ICE (internal combustion engine) automobiles after 2035, and more could follow.

Under Section 177 of the Clean Air Act, states must either adhere to federal emissions standards or adopt California's more stringent guidelines.

Seventeen states have historically followed California's regulations, but so far only Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington have announced they'll enforce the Advanced Clean Cars II rule and prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles.
