One California lawmaker is seeking to have the state ban all vehicles powered by fossil fuels by the year 2040. Should the bill succeed in becoming a law, the state of California would not allow residents to register any vehicle that emits carbon dioxide.
According to Bloomberg, California Assemblymember Phil Ting, a Democrat who is chairman of the chamber’s budget committee, said he plans to introduce a bill that, starting in 2040, would allow the state’s motor vehicles department to register only ‘clean’ vehicles that emit no carbon dioxide, such as battery-electric or hydrogen fuel-cell cars.
‘Until you set a deadline, nothing gets done,’ Ting, who represents much of San Francisco, said in a phone interview Tuesday.
