Letters to the editor: California cars buyers can make their own decision to strengthen state climatic defenses


To the editor: I fell to read California has several ways to continue fighting climate change, such as taxing polluting vehicles as Norway does, convincing truck companies in the ports to use electric trucks and especially the Senate Law of Senate 684, the pollutions paid by pollutants. All these together give us influence (“With its climate progress under assault, California takes a multiprostruid defense.” May 18).

But there is another tactic that we have to, if it unfolds, would be extremely effective. It is also quite easy for most to do it. Stop buying gasoline cars. No one can force him to buy a polluting car. Electric vehicles are profitable for anyone who buys a car from $ 10,000 and more, which is most of all. He The average new car price is $ 48,000But you can get new EVs with 300 miles in the range For less than $ 35,000.

So never buy a gasoline car again. President Trump may be trying to block California's ability to prohibit the sale of cars with gasoline by 2035, but California cars buyers have their own power: the power to choose the best vehicle that does not pollute.
