Gov. Youngkin Vows To Fight Ridiculous Law That Ties Virginia With California To Ban Gas Powered Cars

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin vowed Tuesday to resist a law that would have required Virginians to follow California’s “ridiculous” plan to ban gasoline-powered cars and require all new vehicles in the state to run on electricity by in 2035. Youngkin’s predecessor, Democrat Ralph Northam, signed legislation in 2021 linking the state’s emissions policies to the California Air Resources Board. Last week, the California council approved a plan to eliminate the sale of natural gas and diesel vehicles in the state by 2035 as part of a broader push for zero-emission vehicles to fight climate change. By law, Virginia would now have to do the same, but Youngkin told Tucker Carlson that he plans to fight tooth and nail to overturn the law in time for the January legislative session.
