A policy expert has weighed in on the true cost of California’s energy policies as the Senate is set to vote on whether to revoke California’s embargo on sales of new gasoline-powered passenger cars and trucks by 2035.

The House of Representatives has already voted to revoke the Biden-era Environmental Protection Agency exemption for California’s ban on gas-powered passenger vehicles on a 246-to-164 tally. Thirty-five Democrats joined Republicans to vote in favor of the resolution.

The Senate needs only 51 votes, not 60, to pass the measure as it is being considered under the Congressional Review Act, which exempts it from the filibuster.


Wayne Winegarden, a senior fellow in business and economics at the Pacific Research Institute (PRI), a free market think tank based in Pasadena, California, discussed with The Daily Signal the impacts of California’s energy policies and how the prospective ban on gas vehicles would hurt Americans.

Just pass this revocation and be done with it.
