The Biden administration is reportedly considering giving California permission to ban new gas-powered vehicles in the state within a decade before the Democrat's term comes to an end.
The Biden administration is reportedly considering giving California permission to ban new gas-powered cars in the state as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to undo a host of green energy policies next year. California set an emissions standard to ban new gas cars in the state by 2035, but such a regulation requires a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency to proceed.
California officials met in early December to establish ways to 'Trump proof' the state before the president-elect takes office, allocating $25 million for a legal defense fund to fight the incoming administration.
