Wicked cool cah. Too bad I can't get it to chaagh in the winter.
E&E News (1/8/21) reports: "Massachusetts plans to phase out sales of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035, speeding down the same road as California. While many climate hawks have their eyes trained on the federal government, the proposal last week from Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) heralds significant climate action at the state level. 'I'm really excited to see Gov. Baker moving forward to address global warming pollution from cars and get more zero-emission vehicles on the road,' said Morgan Folger, director of the Zero Carbon Campaign at Environment America. 'Transportation is one of the largest sources of global warming pollution in Massachusetts, and, in particular, gas-powered cars are a big chunk,' Folger added. 'So phasing out gas-powered cars in the state could make a big dent.' Baker issued the proposal as part of his interim Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2030, which outlines how the state can reduce carbon emissions 45% below 1990 levels by 2030 — an interim target on the path to net-zero emissions by 2050."

"President-elect Joe Biden has said that reentering the Paris Agreement is a top priority, but one has to wonder why. The economic consequences of rejoining the Paris Agreement will be severe, hurting consumers, businesses, and workers because of dramatic steps that will need to be taken to comply with the carbon emissions reduction target."
