The status quo is unsustainable, and targets and aspirations are no longer sufficient. It should be obvious by now that climate change is creating havoc and destruction across the globe. It will take dramatic action to cut greenhouse-gas emissions enough to prevent a climate catastrophe. In the U.S., where gas-powered cars and trucks are the single largest source of greenhouse-gas emissions, that means accelerating the transition to clean vehicles. The country lost precious time and momentum toward clean cars during the Trump administration. Biden should make it absolutely clear to automakers and the public that the future really will be electric. ~ Los Angeles Times editorial
