Governor Kathy Hochul announced today that all new vehicles purchased in New York will have to be zero-emission by 2035. New York is the second state to ban the sale of gas-powered cars, following California. “We had to wait for California to take a step because there’s some federal requirements that California had to go first — that’s the only time we’re letting them go first,” Hochul said, according to The Hill.

For anyone hoping to snag a job at their favorite pink-hued ride-hailing company, I’ve got some bad news: Lyft said it won’t be bringing on any new employees through the end of the year, citing economic instability. No lay-offs are being planned at this time, but the company has been trying to cut costs since this past spring. Maybe Uber is still hiring? (Probably not.)
