Wyoming lawmakers want to phase out new electric vehicle sales by 2035.


Recommended Posts

Wyoming relies entirely on mining operations, its a state that has no purpose in a world without coal, oil, or gas.  There also isn't shit it can do about it either, lol.  The state also has Uranium, but instead of trying to push to build a bunch of reactors there and power the nation since its already basically a wasteland so no one would notice if it got irradiated, they keep wasting time and money on shit like this or trying to get other states to use more coal.

It’s because it’s one of the most republican states and elected republicans especially are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet

In response to California and other states phasing out the sale of gasoline-powered cars, Wyoming legislators have introduced a resolution that would ban new electric vehicles in the...

Unlike California’s ban on gas-powered cars, the resolution’s co-sponsor, Sen. Brian Boner, R-Douglas, said the Wyoming resolution would be meaningful in making a statement if passed, but it would be entirely symbolic. 
 

“One might even say tongue-in-cheek, but obviously it’s a very serious issue that deserves some public discussion,” Boner said. 

 

“I’m interested in making sure that the solutions that some folks want to the so-called climate crisis are actually practical in real life,” Boner said. “I just don’t appreciate when other states try to force technology that isn’t ready.” 

All these guys suck ass and wastes everyone’s time with this bullshit.

They want whatever version of the "good old days" they hold in their minds back.

 

Manufacturing jobs are gone and will never come back in large numbers. Can't compete with workers in another country who will work for a couple bucks a day. You can't put the globalism genie back in the bottle.

 

Coal jobs haven't left completely yet, but they also will never come back in large numbers. Isn't the stat like Arby's employs more people in the United States than the entire coal industry?

 

Fucking grifter Republicans keep selling these people on a dream of a better yesterday that will never happen again. And the only reason they even remember it fondly was because their parents were all union workers who had to fight and scrap for every last cent. The same Republican politicians who want to bring coal back also want to bring back company towns.

It’s only by pure accident of history that they’re even mining coal in WY anyway. The railroads almost never came!

My great grandpappy died in a mining collapse in Wyoming. Or maybe it was his dad... I can't remember. One of those assholes. They were all long dead by the time I was born.
