New York Aims to Ban New Gas Vehicles by 2035

Not wishing to be outdone by California, the Empire State recently adopted a plan to phase out the sale of new gas trucks and cars by 2035. The plan will require 35% of light vehicle sales in the state to be zero-emissions by 2026. This percentage will increase to 68% by 2030, and then to 100% by the target year.

Dear NY ;
Good [bleeping ] luck with that misguided agenda … especially in light of the fact that you’ve ( ConEd ) got one of the worst out of date ready to collapse at a moments notice electric grids in the country !
Not to mention …. gee … didn’t NYC just ban ALL electric bikes because they put too much strain on the grid and are catching fire left and right ( now there’s the NYTimes article you should be quoting )
” Well its clowns to the left of me .. jokers to the right ” i.e. nothing will ever change until its all too damn late
