Democrats will introduce legislation to completely phase out the use of gasoline-powered cars by mandating that only zero-emissions vehicles can be sold by 2040.
“When I take a lungful of air in this moment, it has 30 percent more carbon in it than when I was born,” Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, the bill’s main sponsor told The Huffington Post on Wednesday. “That is a change that has never happened in a single generation of humankind on this planet.”
The bill is co-sponsored by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Kamala Harris of California, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Bernie Sanders of Vermont. California Rep. Mike Levin will introduce a House version of the bill, HuffPo reported.

WOW, What a lovely bunch of Socialists! I bet they are thinking about socializing Automotive Industry too.
And the rest of the world will be riding in gas powered cars while we sit around wondering what happened.
Electric vehicles are not zero emission. With over 60% of our electricity being generated from fossil fuels like coal if they really wanted to reduce emissions they should build more nuclear power plants. I guess they don't think about where the electricity comes from.
Just feel good policy’s with no real benefits. I’m sure that THEIR LIMOS will be gas powered though.
They can't fix the things in 2019 , why in the hell are they worried about 2040?
Take it easy, by 2040 these moon bats won't be around (neither will a good many of us) and cars will be something out of the Jetsons.
That should play well in all the states with auto assembly plants? Don't think so. Idiots.
Socialists - noooooooooooooooooooooo. Jackasses (i.e., donkey emblem) - YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Idiots!
SOCIALISTS are the new Domestic Terrorists to America.
Union dems.
OBAMA SOCIALISTs are the LOST GENERATION.
You can't store electricity the way you can store gasoline.
More control for the big government dumbocrats who can turn off you power remotely.
Electric cars cause more greenhouse gases than fossil fuel cars. Look at the amount of fossil fuel machines used to mine cobalt, lithium and all the other metals used in the batteries which by the way doesn't disappear after the battery is useless. I guess it's all okay because it's done in 3rd world countries like Africa so the only greenhouse gases caused are when we plug it in here you bunch of dumb twits if we don't think about it it doesn't exist. SMH
Tell that to a AHOLE MILLINIAL.
JC not only that but its done by child labor. Democrats are all ok with that as along as they dont see it. Thats the minor facts that they dont tell people when pushing this sillyness.. Just like wind power in the long run its costs more than fossil fuels. The reason that many of these Democrats are for this. follow the money all the way to their bank accounts. They are all heavy invested into it. smell the money off the backs of child labor and they dont care about the health issues that its causing them for life. again out of sight out of mind, as long as their getting their bank accounts loaded down.
Yes go Nuclear, I again 100%
No carbon emissions
What about union republicans ?
