This week’s Feedback Friday topic is:
Maryland to Phase Out Gas Vehicles?
This week, Maryland Governor Wes Moore called on the Maryland Department of the Environment to adopt a regulation that will require 100 percent of new vehicles sold in the state to be electric, fuel cell, or plug-in hybrid by the year 2035. The department is expected to approve the regulation, which will essentially mirror the news-making Californian policy. New, fully-gas-powered vehicle sales would be prohibited in one dozen years. This will make Maryland just one of 17 states to adopt regulations that are stricter than the Federal standards signed by President Biden two years ago that called for 40 to 50 percent of the country’s annual sales to be battery electric, fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid by the year 2030.
Do you agree with Gov. Moore’s call for phasing out fossil-fueled vehicles in Maryland by 2035? Why or why not?
