據能源世界網9月24日舊金山報道，加利福尼亞州州長加文·紐瑟姆（Gavin Newsom）周三下令在該州出售的所有乘用車，到2035年應實現零排放，以應對氣候變化和煙霧污染的空氣。

根據州長辦公室的說法，交通部門造成了加州一半以上的碳污染，而該州的部分地區也受到美國最具毒性的空氣的困擾。

紐瑟姆在一份新聞稿中表示，數十年來，我們一直允許汽車污染我們的孩子和家庭呼吸的空氣。我們的汽車不應該讓污染變得更嚴重——制造更多充滿煙霧的日子。汽車不應該融化冰川或提高海平面，從而威脅我們珍愛的海灘和海岸線。

該命令被描述為使該州進一步遠離對影響氣候變化的化石燃料的依賴的積極努力。

政府將制定相關法規，要求到2035年本州銷售的所有新型乘用車和卡車實現零排放，并在“可行的情況下”到2045年實現所有中型和重型卡車的零排放。

據州長辦公室表示，這一命令不會阻止加州居民購買汽油驅動的汽車或銷售二手汽車。其呼吁與私營企業建立伙伴關系，以加快建立電動汽車和氫等無污染燃料加油站的充電網絡。

加州是一個主要的汽車市場，但隨著氣候變化導致樹木和灌木叢變得干枯，毀滅性的野火已經頻繁發生。

今年，遍及加利福尼亞、俄勒岡和華盛頓州的“地獄”大火已經燒毀了超過500萬英畝(合200萬公頃)的土地，造成數十人死亡，數十萬人被迫離開家園。

總部位于加州的特斯拉周二表示，該公司正在大幅削減電池成本，以加速全球向可再生能源的轉變，并可能在三年左右推出一款2.5萬美元的自動駕駛汽車。

California to ban sale of gasoline-powered cars by 2035

San Francisco: California Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday ordered all passenger vehicles sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035 to fight climate change and smog-fouled air.

The transportation sector causes more than half of California's carbon pollution, and parts of the state are vexed by some of the most toxic air in the country, according to the governor's office.

"For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe," Newsom said in a release.

"Our cars shouldn't make wildfires worse -- and create more days filled with smoky air. Cars shouldn't melt glaciers or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines."

The order was described as an aggressive effort to move the state further away from reliance on climate changing fossil fuels.

Regulations will be developed to mandate that all in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks be zero-emission by the year 2035, and that all medium- and heavy-duty trucks be emission-free by 2045 "where feasible."

The order won't prevent California residents from owning gasoline-powered cars or selling used models, according to the governor's office.

It does call for partnerships with private businesses to speed up creation of charging networks for electric cars and stations for non-polluting fuels such as hydrogen.

California is a major car market, but devastating wildfires have become frequent occurences as climate change leaves trees and brush tinder-dry.

Infernos across California, Oregon and Washington states have burned more than five million acres (two million hectares) this year, killed dozens of people and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.

California-based Tesla on Tuesday said it is slashing battery costs to speed a global shift to renewable energy, and could have a $25,000 self-driving model available in three years or so.
