1 SECTION 1: Findings
2 Congress makes the following findings:
3 1) Electric cars can help keep your town and your world clean. It produces less
4 waste that will contribute to climate change in comparison to fuel based
5 vehicles. (1)
6 2) About 60 percent of carbon pollution from the transportation sector comes
7 from passenger vehicles. If we electrify all of them with renewably generated,
8 zero-carbon electricity by 2050, we will address a huge part of the climate
9 challenge for transportation. (2)
10 3) We found that battery electric cars generate half the emissions of the
11 average comparable gasoline car, even when pollution from battery
12 manufacturing is accounted for. (3)
13 4) Two-thirds of all Americans live in areas where electric cars produces fewer
14 climate emissions

16 SECTION 2: Purpose
17 To change all cars to electric cars in order to reduce the pollution rate of the
18 environment in the United States.

20 SECTION 3: General Provisions
21 Cars that get fueled up with gasoline create a lot of pollution. These past decades,
22 environment have begun to be polluted. If we ever want to keep our air clean, we
23 must promote electric cars and make fuels more expensive. In the United States,
24 people need to drive to get around places as each destinations are fairly far
25 apart. The government needs to provide benefits make raise the tax in order to
26 reduce the amount of gasoline cars and make the electric cars cheaper.
