Massachusetts plans to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035

People claim to care about climate change and the environment but moves like this only further harm the environment and cause more suffering. Instead of this drastic change, a better first step would be to force automakers to sell / provide conversion kits for any vehicle made in the last 15 years. Getting as much life out of vehicles that are still road worthy is a better option instead of pushing more waste.

In terms of the needed power, Massachusetts can't even maintain the infrastructure they already have. How is the state going to make the required upgrades to support this move? The state's only nuclear power plant was decommissioned last year and there are no plans for new ones. Solar is not really a large scale option given the latitude, lack of sunny days and the need to clear / destroy more woodlands. Wind is an option but the scale needed would make the landscape become the eyesore that Vermont / New Hampshire has become.
