Biden Administration Is Said to Allow California to Ban New Gas-Powered Cars

  • California and 11 other states want to halt the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to try to stop them.

The article from The New York Times discusses California's ambitious plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, aiming to transition to electric vehicles (EVs) to combat climate change. This initiative has sparked a significant political and legal battle, with the Biden administration supporting California's right to set its own emissions standards, while former President Trump and some Republican-led states oppose it, arguing it oversteps federal authority and could harm the economy. The debate centers on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to grant California a waiver under the Clean Air Act to implement stricter emissions rules than the federal government. Legal challenges are ongoing, with potential implications for national climate policy, as other states might follow California's lead if the ban is upheld. The article highlights the tension between state autonomy in environmental regulation, economic considerations, and the broader push towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
