move toward banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars, one US state wants to go in the opposite direction. Wyoming’s legislature is considering a resolution that calls for a phaseout of new electric vehicle sales by 2035. Introduced on Friday,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
Mr. Jim Anderson and his crew are excellent examples of the blind leading the blind. They are terrified to move forward because they might hurt themselves.
Try to real hard to not be Wyoming
I say start giving them away and we shall see.
And let’s bring back buggy whips while we are at it!

Ev’s aren’t as great as people think they are. Our power grids aren’t ready for everyone to switch. Not to mention many places lack charging infrastructure. How green it is depends on your power source. However, these are things that can be easily dealt with.
Wyoming’s “proud and valued” oil and gas industry. That is the most selfless act for the future.
And yet right wing clowns like this are the new bffs of elonmusk. Brilliant.
That’s a pendulum cutting on its way back …😂
Might want to do coal first.
Good
Wyoming where people still ride horses and wagon.
Not a huge surprise. Their residents can’t afford them anyway, and I’m like 99% certain they don’t even really have roads up there. Horse and carriage salesmen gonna be pleased with this one.
Unserious people in a serious time.
Phase out ev Did I read that right
morning fam!
