Can California Eliminate Gas Cars?

State leaders are discussing banning the sale of cars that run on gasoline or diesel

    By Anne C. Mulkern, ClimateWire on November 8, 2017
 

More than 25 million cars cruise the roads in California, a testament to the state's love affair with driving. A tiny slice of those vehicles are electric or plug-in hybrid models.

That's not nearly enough for state leaders who want to wage a fierce battle against climate change. They're discussing a move that some consider radical: banning the sale of cars that run on gasoline or diesel.
