California to Phase Out New Gas-powered Cars by 2035

On August 25, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) moved to completely phase out new gasoline-powered vehicles by the year 2035 in the Golden State. The group of unelected bureaucrats voted to approve the Advanced Clean Cars II plan, which demands that all new vehicles sold in the state must be “100% zero-emission” by 2035.

CARB consists of 14 voting members, 12 of whom have been appointed by climate-alarmist governors Gavin Newsom (D), Jerry Brown (D), and Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican. Two other voting members represent what CARB refers to as “environmental justice communities.” The environmental justice members are appointed by California’s far-left Legislature, one by the House and one by the Senate.
