Hmmm. Well, there are 17 states to give the middle finger to.
Well, how much of this talk is election campaign rhetoric to enthrall the idiot green voters, and how much will actually become serious, and result in signed legislation?

Unfortunately states like Va legislated this crap into law. The state AG says they have to abide by it for now. This is why Youngkin and current legislature has to actually get rid of that law.
Yeah, and back in the 60's, we school kids were told we had to learn the metric system because the U.S. would be completely converted over to it by 2000. What the h*** happened with that?

Yeh. The only thing that seem to go metric were fasteners/nuts & bolts and speedometers on cars with kph.
Life is not a classroom debate. Not everything is plug in and play. No E-Z button here.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg
"Numbers are important. It would take four times as much electricity to charge the average household's cars as the average household uses on air conditioning. Do you think that could be -- so, if we reach the goal by 2030 that Biden has of -- of 50 percent adoption instead of 100 percent adoption, that means the average household would use twice as much electricity charging one of their cars as they would use for all of the air conditioning that they use for the entire year."

Signage on Interstate 19 in Arizona is given in metric units. So, there we are.
2035 is a long time away, we've seen exponential technology advances over each decade so this may be more realistic than you think. We are not currently ready, but don't bet against American ingenuity. I think that the '35 date will be pushed out to '40 or 45 as we get closer to '35 but it's a good idea to have goals.
Why would we have a goal to have less choice and have an inferior product due to government mandates?
It's thought that only five states, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, Oregon and Vermont will likely follow California
However states that follow California's older emission standard rules such as Pennsylvania and Colorado have said that they will not be adopting the ban.
PA will never do it because their House of Reps will never be blue. All of the Democrats and enviro-weenies in PA live in two large cities and are not spread out enough to win the House.
And they can take their EVs and stick them where the sun doesn't shine. I would rather convert my truck to off of cooking oil first.
You can do that now if you want. A neighbor does, but his old diesel vehicle smells like French fries!
