Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order Wednesday that would require every passenger car and truck sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035. The hope is to eventually phase out all gas operated vehicles all together.
It’s part of his plan to mitigate climate change. He called for bold action to eliminate emissions from transportation, purportedly California’s biggest source of emissions. But how likely is it for his plan to succeed?
