LOS ANGELES - All new cars sold in California by 2035 will have to be zero emissions under plans set to be adopted by the state this week, as the biggest economy in the United States drives a nationwide fossil fuel evolution.
The plans, which board member Daniel Sperling recently told CNN he was"99.9 per cent" confident would be adopted, also include incremental steps mandating more than a third of 2026 car sales in the state be zero emissions, and over two-thirds by 2030. Biden and his Democratic Party are rushing to make up climate policy ground they feel was lost under former president Donald Trump, who yanked the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement and reversed what many environmentalists viewed as already-weak progress in combating the fossil fuel emissions that drive global warming.
New registrations of diesel cars and taxis will cease from 2025, and new vehicles registered from 2030 will only be of cleaner-energy models.
