California is expected to approve a ban on sales of fossil fueled automobiles tomorrow. The ban will be in full effect (none) by 2035 and fractionally as soon as 2026. California becomes the first government in the world to go this far. It's pretty interesting in that it will create a huge market for EV manufacturers, will likely catch on and spread, and will require some serious efforts to meet the electrical demand of these new vehicles.
Excellent news for China. So much market share in the battery mineral mining industry. Great news for any foreign supplier of fossil fuels that are needed to produce the batteries for electric vehicles. it’s going to be a windfall for them once the rest of the country gets on the bandwagon.

No, California is not alone. After a marathon negotiation session, the 27 countries of the European Union have agreed to effectively ban the sale of new cars and vans powered by petrol and diesel engines by 2035. https://insideevs.com/news/534890/co...-gas-car-bans/
This reminds me of the thread where people where whining and blaming the oil refineries for not building more capacity.
Then some of us pointed out that there were disincentives for doing that due to legislative pressure.
This was of course met with denial and that there was nothing that was preventing new refinery building and it was just the oil companies fault and couldn't possibly be a long term reaction to govt policies.
But now, you want to pat yourselves on the back for this accomplishment after denying it was occuring and contributed to higher gas prices.
