“The proposed rules would establish a credit system for automakers supplying California car dealerships and take effect in 2026. In that year, 35% of all new cars an auto manufacturer sells to California dealerships would need to be either zero-emission, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen-powered vehicles. That would increase to 68% in 2030 and 100% by 2035”
While Mississippi continues to live in the past, making buggy whips for their horse drawn carriages, California is preparing for the future. A future that must come because oil supplies can’t last forever and burning fossil fuels is causing global warming and harmful to the environment.
So California will lead and make the sometimes painful transition to clean energy while Mississippi continues with the old ways. It’s only proper. When has Mississippi ever led on anything? Women’s rights? No. Slavery? No. Technology? No. Education? No.
California has the money and the numbers in population to lead on necessary change. The rest of the country will follow, no doubt kicking and screaming all the way.
