Third US State Banning Combustion-Engined Car Sales
Yesterday by Jay Traugott Industry News 

California came first, then New Jersey, and now...

California made global headlines last September when it announced a bold and perhaps controversial plan to ban sales of new combustion-engine vehicles by 2035. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the executive order on the hood of a new Ford Mustang Mach-E. For decades, the Golden State has issued more stringent environmental laws than what the EPA called for, much to the chagrin of some automakers. But times are changing.

Only a month after California's ban declaration, New Jersey announced a similar plan that also calls to reduce state emissions by 80 percent by 2050. And now, a third state has joined the party. Massachusetts has declared it too will ban sales of gas-powered vehicles by 2035.

I suspect that most of the saving of fossil fuels used in these states will come from the people leaving.

The price of good used cars are sure to go up.

It's also important to note that Massachusetts' ban, like that in California and New Jersey, does not outright ban gas-powered vehicle ownership, nor will it forbid sales on the used vehicle market. It strictly applies to new vehicles only.

Including in neighboring states.  Will this become the new Cuba for old cars?

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

When the "betters" in gov of those states find out their law is not working to remove the gas powered vehicles they will try an incentive program.....like the very successful and great Keynesian experiment "Cash For Clunkers" buy-out program  /s  Of course this time it would work, because well, like socialism they can make it work this time because, it will be different.

The ideologues are deliberately and wantonly fracturing our society, our nation, our security.  They have secured sufficient numbers of Useful Idiots to ensure it, I fear.
There are some among us who live in rooms of experience we can never enter.

IMHO, We the People are only going to be pushed so far.  I just bought a new vehicle last year --- I paid cash -- that vehicle should last me till they plant me 6 ft. under.  I'll be darned if I am forced to purchase another vehicle to the govt's liking.

Another possibility; they may also push for fewer vehicles on the road so we'll be mandated to pay to have someone come pick us up and drive us to our destinations and back.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
