Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order wednesday to restrict sales of new cars in the state to zero-emission cars until 2035.
Here are the key topics in the Times reports:
For several years the possibility of getting rid of gasoline cars in California has been reported, but so far there is nothing concrete.
In his order, Newsom defined his ambition: “A state goal is that 100% of sales in the state of new cars and trucks be 0 emissions by 2035. It will be some other state target, that 100% of the state’s medium and heavy cars will be zero emissions until 2045 for all operations where feasible and until 2035 for truck check-in. The government also aims to increase emissions from 0 to one hundred percent. Cars and road appliances until 2035 when possible. “
The governor’s order orders the state Air Resources Board to expand and propose regulations requiring “higher volumes of new zero-emission cars sold in the state to meet the 100 percent of sales in the state by 2035. “
Cars, trucks and other automobiles are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in California, representing about 40% of the state’s total, and their emissions have increased in recent years. Reducing transport pollutants remains the state’s biggest challenge in reducing global pollution by warming emissions to 40% below 1990 degrees by 2030.
Under existing regulations, the Air Resources Board requires automakers to sell electric cars, fuel mobiles, and other zero-emission cars in expanding percentages through 202 five. Plug-in and electric hybrid cars accounted for 7. 6% of new car registrations in California in 2019. In 2018, then-Governor Jerry Brown set a goal of putting five million zero-emission cars on the roads through 202five. 670,000 zero-emission cars were sold in California until the end of 2019, according to sales from the automotive industry. Data.
EXECUTIVE ORDER N-79-20
CONSIDERING that the climate replacement crisis is occurring lately, affecting California with unprecedented tactics and affecting the physical condition and protection of too many Californians; And
CONSIDERING that we want to drive our climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts and move faster towards our low-carbon, sustainable and resilient future; And
WHEREAS the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the transport sector, leading to a sharp decline in fuel demand and damage to public transport; And
WHEREAS, as our economy recovers, we will have to drive the long-term transition without carbon emissions to support the maintenance and creation of high-quality road jobs; And
CONSIDERING that California’s long-term economic recovery capacity requires ambitious action for transport emissions, which are the largest source of emissions in the state; And
WHEREAS the state will have to prioritize the blank transportation responses available to all Californians, especially those who are low income or suffer a disproportionate percentage of pollution; Y
CONSIDERING that zero emission technologies, namely trucks and equipment, reduce greenhouse fuel emissions and poisonous air pollutants that disproportionately our disadvantaged communities of color; And
CONSIDERING that California is a world leader in the manufacture and deployment of zero-emission cars and chargers and service stations for cars, trucks, buses and cargo-related equipment; And
CONSIDERING that passenger rail infrastructure, public transport, bicycles and pedestrians and micro-mobility characteristics are essential for the state to achieve carbon neutrality and connect communities, requiring investment coordination and collaboration with all degrees of government, adding railways and transit agencies to these mobility characteristics; And
CONSIDERING that California’s policies have contributed to a steady decline in oil extraction in the state, which has declined by more than 60% since 1985, however, demand for oil has declined accordingly over the same period; And
CONSIDERING that California is already running to decarbonize the transportation fuel sector the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, which recognizes the entire carbon life cycle in transportation emissions, adding transportation to the state; And
AND CONSIDERING that blank renewable fuels play a role in California’s transition to a low-carbon transportation sector; And
CONSIDERING that to protect the fitness and protection of our communities and workers, the state will need to focus on the effects of oil extraction as it moves away from fossil fuels, in order to complete the issuance of new hydraulic fracturing permits until 2024; And
CONSIDERING that a sustainable and inclusive long-term economy for California will require keeping up and creating jobs on the roads through sustained commitment to communities, staff, and industries in evolving and developing industries.
NOW THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California under the force and authority vested in me through the Constitution and statutes of the State of California, consider the following Ordinance to continue movements to combat the climate crisis.
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The state aims to have one hundred percent of the state’s sales of new 0-emission passenger and truck cars by 2035 The state also targets that one hundred percent of medium and heavy cars in the state are 0 emissions until 2045 for all operations. wherever it is imaginable and until 2035 for truck check-in. The state also aims to build one hundred percent of emissions-free off-road cars and appliances up to one hundred percent by 2035 wherever imaginable.
The State Air Resources Board, to the extent it is compatible with federal law, develops and proposes:
a) Regulations on cars and passenger trucks that require expanding new 0-emission car volumes sold in the state to succeed in the 100 percent state sales target through 2035(b) Regulations for medium and heavy vehicles that require expanding volumes to return to 0: emission trucks and buses sold and operated in the state to achieve the goal of 100 percent of the fleet of cars move to zero-emission cars until 2045 anywhere imaginable and that all trucks with check-in have zero emissions until 2035. c) Strategies, in coordination with other state agencies, the US Environmental Protection Agency. But it’s not the first time And local air districts, to achieve a hundred percent emission of all-terrain car and appliance operations in the state through 2035.
