Allows California to End Sales of New Gas-Powered Vehicles By 2035

The Environmental Protection Agency will allow California to enforce a rule to end sales of new gasoline-powered vehicles in the state by 2035. The EPA approved two of eight waivers requested by the state to enforce climate regulations.
The California Air Resources Board is still waiting for the EPA to take action on six other major clean air rules, including regulations that would phase out fossil fuel-powered cargo trucks. Governor Gavin Newsom applauded the decision, saying it will bring residents closer to driving affordable electric or hybrid vehicles and improve public health by slashing harmful air pollution.
