Wyoming’s legislature is considering a resolution that calls for a phaseout of new electric vehicle sales by 2035. Introduced on Friday, Senate Joint Resolution 4 has support from members of the state’s House of Representatives and Senate.In the proposed resolution, a group of lawmakers led by Senator Jim Anderson says Wyoming’s “proud and valued” oil and gas industry has created “countless” jobs and contributed revenue to the state’s coffers.They add that a lack of charging infrastructure within Wyoming would make the widespread use of EVs “impracticable” and that the state would need to build “massive amounts of new power generation” to “sustain the misadventure of electric vehicles.”SJ4 calls for residents and businesses to limit the sale and purchase of EVs voluntarily, with the goal of phasing them out entirely by 2035. If passed, the resolution would be entirely symbolic. In fact, it’s more about sending a message to EV advocates than banning the vehicles altogether. To that point, the final section of SJ4 calls for Wyoming’s Secretary of State to send President Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom copies of the resolution.

    Wow. Rational thought exists in Wyoming. Reading the article no one is going to be forced to do anything, but it's a nice jab at Kommiefornia.

    They are a boondoggle. Their use of rare-earth metals and the environmental costs of mining them and then disposing of these vehicles far outweighs the supposed carbon benefits.

    Pelosi beat the market, tripling her wealth. Only insiders can do that, or the lucky.

    Probably once again, the members of CON-gress are invested in all the businesses that will benefit from their "green" appropriations bills.

    And electric vehicles only make sense After we have a steady and reliable source of electricity. Solar panels and windmills aren't going to produce enough, and reliably. It's fission and fusion that we need to power electric cars.

    A lot of the electricity we use for electric cars comes from burning fossil fuels!!! There are many idiots who think that because they sign up for some solar power company, that suddenly the electrons get smart and they know which house to go to!
