California's Zero-Emissions Goals Could Hit Wall With New Trump Presidency

from KQED's The California Report · host KQED

Under Governor Gavin Newsom, California has taken on an environmental policy that aims to reduce its carbon footprint, and that relies heavily on zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). But California's pathway to going green may face its biggest obstacle in the coming Trump Administration. The President-Elect has vowed to cut federal tax breaks for ZEV purchases, and de-regulate federal environmental policies.   While Governor Newsom says he plans to bring back state-level incentives for ZEV purchases if those tax breaks are revoked, California is preparing for a fight with the new Trump Administration over its environmental future.
