Both Washington and Massachusetts had enacted legislation conforming the states to recommendations from CARB as of 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/ww2.arb.ca.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2019-03\/177-states.pdf\">according<\/a> to the agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a critical milestone in our climate fight,\u201d Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovInslee\/status\/1562512247616045056?s=20&amp;t=rYvGc0n3cesUmRWNpvpKQQ\">said<\/a> on social media, setting the goal of \u201call new car sales to be zero emissions by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>California accounts for 11.7% of new light-duty vehicle sales in the United States, according to CARB, while Massachusetts and Washington account for 2.1% and 1.8% of sales, respectively. The road to electric vehicle adoption, however, may be steep \u2014 California has 563,070 registered electric vehicles while Washington and Massachusetts have 66,810 and 30,470, respectively, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/afdc.energy.gov\/data\/10962\">Department of Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Officials in the Biden administration have come under fire for suggesting that renewable energy subsidies passed under the Inflation Reduction Act will help the middle class contend with higher price levels, particularly with respect to fuel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are low income, you can get your home entirely weatherized through the expansion from the bipartisan infrastructure laws,\u201d Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/they-dont-know-how-they-sound-critics-roast-energy-secretary-for-telling-poor-people-to-buy-solar-panels\">said<\/a> earlier this month on Fox News. \u201cIf you are moderate income, today you can get 30% off the price of solar panels. Those solar panels can be financed, so you don\u2019t have to have the big outlay at the front \u2026 If you don\u2019t qualify for the weatherization program, you will be able to, starting next year, get rebates on the appliances and equipment that will help you reduce your monthly energy bill by up to 30%. That is all about reducing costs for people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond state governments, corporations around the world are seeking to accelerate a shift toward electric vehicles. Bank Australia, for example, will no longer offer loans for new gas-powered cars and plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/australian-bank-to-end-loans-for-new-gas-cars-pushes-electric-vehicles-instead\">implement<\/a> the policy beginning in the next three years as part of its commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy ceasing car loans for new fossil fuel vehicles, we are sending a signal to the Australian market about the rapid acceleration in the transition from internal combustion to electric vehicles we expect to see in the next few years,\u201d Bank Australia Chief Impact Officer Sasha Courville said at a recent summit, according to a press release. \u201cWe\u2019ve chosen 2025 because the change to electric vehicles needs to happen quickly, and we believe it can with the right supporting policies in place to bring a greater range of more affordable electric vehicles to Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas, however, recently cut ties with BlackRock, UBS, and eight other financial institutions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/texas-cuts-ties-with-blackrock-other-woke-firms-over-their-hatred-for-fossil-fuels\">hostile<\/a> to fossil fuel investment. Comptroller Glenn Hegar identified firms that are \u201crefusing to deal with\u201d or \u201cterminating business activities\u201d with companies involved in the production and use of fossil fuels \u201cwithout an ordinary business purpose\u201d based upon an evaluation of their commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives \u2014 which, in some cases, included vows to third-party climate advocacy groups like Net Zero Banking Alliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington and Massachusetts are following a policy from California to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035.
