加州佩塔卢马成为美国首座禁止新建加油站的城市,这是该市向电动汽车转型计划的行动之一。
该市官员在2月底一致通过了一项法案,将无限期延长现有的两年暂停建设新加油站的命令。3月1日进行最终表决。该项法案并不影响该市16家现有的或一家已经获得批准但尚未建成的加油站的运营。但这些加油站不得增加加油泵。
该法案称:“现有加油站的数据显示,在现有住宅区以及2025年总体规划中已作规划但尚未建成的所有区域五分钟车程以内(以每小时25英里的速度行驶2.1英里),有多家加油站。”
该法案还将更方便现有加油站在经营场所内增加电动汽车充电桩以及其他替代燃料站。
加州希望在2045年之前实现碳中和,但佩塔卢马的计划更雄心勃勃,计划在2030年之前达到这个目标。禁止新建加油站是实现这个目标的第一步。
佩塔卢马的规模相对较小,位于旧金山以北37英里的索诺马县。该市占地15平方英里,人口约61,000人,以啤酒和葡萄酒旅游业而闻名。
该市的决定也会向其他地区蔓延。一个名为“联合反对新建加油站”(Coalition Opposing New Gas Stations)的组织一直在索诺马县呼吁停建加油站。去年,加州宣布将从2035年开始禁止销售新燃油汽车。(财富中文网)

Petaluma, Calif., has become the nation’s first city to prohibit the building of new gas stations, an edict that underlines the movement toward electric vehicles.
City officials at the end of February unanimously passed a bill that would continue an existing two-year moratorium indefinitely. A final reading was scheduled for March 1. The bill does not impact the operation of the city’s 16 existing gas stations or the one that was approved but has not yet been built. Those stations will not be allowed to add more pumps, however.
“Based on this inventory, there are multiple stations located within a five-minute drive (2.1 miles at 25 mph) of every existing residence as well as all areas planned for residential development by the 2025 General Plan but not yet constructed,” the bill says.
The bill will also make it easier for existing stations to add electric vehicle charging stations and other alternate fuel stations on their premises.
California hopes to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, but Petaluma is taking a more ambitious path, with a goal of hitting that mark by 2030. The ban on gas stations is the first step to achieve that.
Petaluma is a relatively small city in Sonoma County, 37 miles north of San Francisco. It covers 15 square miles, has a population of roughly 61,000, and is popular with beer and wine tourists.
The movement could grow too. An organization called the Coalition Opposing New Gas Stations has been pushing to stop construction of gas stations throughout all of Sonoma county. And California last year said it would ban the sale of new gas-powered cars starting in 2035.
