    Because people bitch like hell whenever gas prices go up.

    Environmental regulations have political backing when you can see the affects. Climate change is a lot less defined.

        New York City is trying to put in a ULEZ zone into lower Manhattan right now, but it is taking a while and may end up with New Jersey suing New York City at some point.

        Even then, the explicit goal of the zone is to raise money, not reduce emotions. I expect that a waiver for electric vehicles will not be provided.
