12 States Want Biden To Ban Their Gas-Powered Cars

Rhode Island
This comes after individual state mandates like the ones from California and Washington. It means expanding from banning fuel-burning car sales within their borders to banning them nationwide. For that, they need help from Biden, as Reuters reports:
In a letter that was seen by Reuters, the governors, which also include those of Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington State and Rhode Island, urged Biden to set standards “to ensure that all new passenger cars and light-duty trucks sold are zero-emission no later than 2035 with significant milestones along the way to monitor progress.”
They argued that “by establishing a clear regulatory path to ensuring that all vehicles sold in the United States are zero-emission, we can finally clear the air and create high-road jobs.”

This time last year, automakers were in an absolute panic about their business, as most everyone was about almost everything. Fast forward to now and they have almost all bounced back quite nicely. The current problems aren’t that the pandemic has rendered them unable to build or sell cars but mainly global supply chain issues.
Luxury automakers have fared the best. That includes BMW, which said this week that it made a whole lot of money in the first quarter of 2021.
