Stop California Style Regulations and Bans An Open Letter

Stop California Style Regulations and Bans An Open Letter March 10, 2022 We, the undersigned, represent citizens and businesses in states outside of California, but are impacted by California Governor Gavin Newsom’s 2020 executive order to phase out and eventually ban the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035. [...] New Hampshire would become the beneficiary of this poorly thought-out proposal, as residents and businesses would flock to their state for its lower costs and larger array of options. [...] While the costs to California would be shared among millions of residents, and the geographic limits cross-border competition, most of the 16 other states would put themselves at a further economic disadvantage with neighboring states if these bans were implemented. [...] Adding the painful and unnecessary financial burden of banning crucial and necessary products onto the backs of our households and businesses will only hamper any recovery and prolong the pain and suffering.
