Biden finalizes crackdown on gas cars, forcing more than half of new car sales to be electric by 2030
The Biden administration has finalized a slate of highly-anticipated environmental regulations curbing gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions as part of its broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming. The regulations will help "tackle the climate crisis" by reducing transportation sector's carbon dioxide emissions by a staggering 7.2 billion metric tons over the course of the program, which will be in effect through 2032.
