One State Wants To Ban Electric Vehicles For Real
No, this is not clickbait, nor is it a misprint. With so many states getting on the bandwagon to ban new gasoline-powered cars by 2030, one state wants to go in the opposite direction. The Wyoming legislature has put forth Senate Joint Resolution 4 to phase out all new electric vehicle sales by 2035.
Calling EVs a “misadventure,” it says the “proud and valued” oil and gas industry has created “countless” jobs as well as revenue to Wyoming. It argues that with the state’s sparse charging infrastructure, EVs would be “impracticable.” And it adds that “massive amounts of new power generation” would be needed to “sustain the misadventure of electric vehicles.”
Keep in mind that the state has almost a $1 billion surplus in its General Fund, which along with DOT programs would help it to get ahead of the inevitable EV takeover. But also keep in mind that Wyoming is the top producer of oil, gas, and coal. So maybe it should invest the money because those industries are dying.
