The rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board, will require that 100 percent of all new cars sold in the state by 2035 be free of the fossil fuel emissions chiefly responsible for warming the planet, up from 12 percent today. It sets interim targets requiring that 35 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in the state by 2026 produce zero emissions. That would climb to 68 percent by 2030.

      I'm of the belief that the US will exist by that time and will have a much smaller economy, population likely smaller as well with the amount of deaths that will take place, and a lot more unrest. It'll still functionally be a country but your standard of living will be more like the global souths.

        If the USA is unable to perpetually kneecap the global south, then "global south" won't be shorthand for "Perpetual poverty" anymore...
