This US city has banned the construction of new gas stations due to the increase in electric vehicles

At least two electric vehicle chargers must be installed at every new gas stations that are constructed. A US city has decided to prohibit the opening of new gas stations due to politicians’ “obligation” to address climate change. There are currently five stations in Lousiville, Colorado, a town of about 21,000 inhabitants close to Denver. Although a sixth was just authorized, it might be the city’s final one. As per the latest municipal legislation, it may be inferred that prohibiting gasoline stations could potentially encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) which would lower vehicle emissions and promote the use of cleaner, low-carbon energy choices for transportation. It goes on to say that the reason a cap on gas stations rather than a complete ban is being considered is that demand will persist as more electric vehicles are gradually introduced. According to the law, all new gas stations that are given a waiver from the prohibition or those that undergo modifications must also install two electric vehicle chargers. Additionally, they must be separated from current ones by at least 1000 feet, or little over 300 meters. The building of new gas stations was prohibited until September 2023 by an emergency…

California’s investments in the climate

In addressing the climate catastrophe, California has taken the lead under Governor Gavin Newsom. The state of California is most affected by climate change. California has had catastrophic wildfires, heat waves that broke records, and severe droughts. The costs of inaction on climate change are too high. The cost of extreme weather events to US taxpayers in 2022 alone was $165 billion. California is eschewing fossil fuels in a big way. By 2035, we will have reduced our reliance on oil by ceasing to sell new gas-powered vehicles. A measure to gradually stop the manufacturing of hazardous oil in our communities was signed by Governor Newsom. The extraordinary, multibillion-dollar climate budget that Governor Newsom proposed includes: Addresses the problems of wildfires and drought Aids in communities’ weather adaptation Supports the state’s objectives for zero-emission vehicles Provides energy that is inexpensive, dependable, and clean. Saves money for Californians and builds thriving communities These innovative global climate policies are having an impact. The majority of clean energy jobs in the US are located in California. The clean car and renewable energy sectors are driving the country’s growth. California surpassed its 2020 climate target six years early. California produced six times as many…

The IEA projects that global emissions will peak by 2025 for the first time ever

As per the IEA’s recently issued “World Energy Outlook 2023,” clean energy has the potential to revolutionize the global energy system by 2030. Solar and electric vehicles (EVs) in particular are offering “hope for the way forward.” According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global energy grid in 2030 will have nearly ten times as many EVs on the road as there were in 2023. The authors observe that in 2020, 1 in 25 automobiles sold were electric; by 2023, that number has dropped to 1 in 5. Given this, it is easy to see how the momentum for EV adoption will continue to grow significantly over the next ten years. According to IEA projections, solar energy will surpass the existing electricity generation capacity of the US power system by 2030. It projects that the proportion of renewable energy in the world’s electrical mix will increase from about 30% to over 50%. According to this analysis, new offshore wind projects will receive three times as much funding as new coal and gas-fired power facilities. Heat pumps and other electric heating technologies are predicted to outsell fossil fuel boilers worldwide. “The global shift to clean energy is occurring and will…

Colorado adopts California’s EV regulations in part, but falls short of the 2035 prohibition

A new Colorado Clean Car rule, which generally mirrors California’s “Advanced Clean Cars 2” law but stops short of establishing a 2035 deadline for 100% EV sales, was overwhelmingly passed by the Air Quality Control Commission of Colorado. By 2035, all new cars sold in California will be electric vehicles, according to a rule that was finalized last year. Between now and 2035, the rule aims to increase the percentage of new EV sales, with 100% ZEV and PHEV sales by that time. Given that California is the US state with the highest EV adoption rate (and could probably stand to exclude PHEVs as well), we remarked at the time (and still do) that this deadline could have been accelerated for the Golden State. The California Air Resources Board argued that by adopting a more liberal standard, other states would be more likely to follow suit and form a larger group of states that could drive the auto industry in the right direction. Several additional states, including New York, Washington, Oregon, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Maryland, have thus far accepted the regulation. Even better, Washington has chosen 2030 as the target year rather than 2035. Colorado joined…
