Wyoming Republicans Propose Electric Car Ban

The Wyoming legislature is considering a bill to outlaw electric cars. It’s a snide and silly example of political grandstanding.What a world we live in. Thanks to the magic of the internet and social media, we the people can divide ourselves into bitterly divided camps on any issue imaginable in nanoseconds.

WHEREAS, the batteries used in electric vehicles contain critical minerals whose domestic supply is limited and at risk for disruption; and WHEREAS, the United States has consistently invested in the oil and gas industry to sustain gas-powered vehicles, and that investment has resulted in the continued employment of thousands of people in the oil and gas industry in Wyoming and throughout the country; and

WHEREAS, phasing out the sale of new electric vehicles in Wyoming by 2035 will ensure the stability of Wyoming’s oil and gas industry and will help preserve the country’s critical minerals for vital purposes.Section 1. That the legislature encourages and expresses as a goal that the sale of new electric vehicles in the state of Wyoming be phased out by 2035.

What put a burr under his saddle was California’s announcement last August to proceed with a ban on sales of new vehicles powered by infernal combustion engines by 2035. “I have a problem with somebody saying, ‘Don’t buy any more petroleum vehicles,’” Anderson said, adding that he introduced the bill “just to get the message out that we’re not happy with the states that are outlawing our vehicles.

1000 people were polled, 'what do you think of Wyoming and the view of EV'S?' They overwhelmingly responded, 'what is Wyoming?'

Where is Wyoming?

What the heck does Wyoming know anyway?

Anyone else remember watching Monty Python's Election Night Special and thinking the 'Sensible Party' was the Republicans? 😄

😂

These sad ignorant lawmakers would have mandated that everyone own horses as cars were becoming popular. Luckily they eventually just fade into obscurity.

They should impose a housing ban while they’re at it. Since they seem to prefer to live in a cave

The way things are going, America is going to be left behind as Europe and Asia accelerates into the future. 🤷‍♂️

I propose wyoming republicans ban.

This is on brand for Wyoming

Even the twisted right wing supreme court can't let this happen.
