More laws/regulations from small government GOP . At least the left is honest about wanting more gov control.

Neither side GAF about us and they let us mere commoners fight each other over it.

Absolutely.

Wyoming will fail, but only because theyre trying to protect a home industry, and in the future the price of their homegrown gasoline will keep going higher and higher. Their market will be too small.

Unsurprisingly, dumb people don't understand this is done for economic purposes, though it probably will not work.


Elaborate further.

If we ban every form of transportation that isn't ICE vehicles, industries associated with ICE vehicles will be profitable

Nah, yeah. The mindset of the anti electric crowd is mesmerizing.

You support the opposite pandering from your ilk in the regressive left.

This is dumb. The government shouldn't be pushing EVs or disparaging ICs.

Banning electric is no more justifiable than banning combustion engines. Let the free market decide.

Here’s a crazy idea. Let people choose whether they want a gas or electric powered vehicle.

I could see Jeff Landry pulling this stunt here in LA after he becomes Governor.

You guys are getting all thing wrong, you can’t do anything in wyoming without gas…everything is too remote. You just can’t run to charge a EV.

This is stupid. If people want to buy EV’s, let them.

Just a few politicians fishing for campaign donations from oil & gas companies.
