  Wait, also, are you arguing for a nanny state where people aren't allowed to make their own choices?
  I thought Republicans said that was bad. 
  I thought true conservatives would say, "you wanna buy an EV? Ok, that's stupid, but that's your choice." 
  What happened to the conservatives?
context: No other state gets so much representation for so little taxation. >
  
  I think they're like .05 % of the country's annual oil consumption.  Doubt they're going to singlehandedly save the fossil fuel sector >
  
  Aren't they one of the bigger oil producers? >
  
  Kind of. 8th place. CA produces more oil (which makes sense since CA is bigger). Wyoming pales in comparison to an actual oil state like Texas. 
  Now, oil is probably a bigger share of Wyoming’s economy. >
  
  Coal is big in Wyoming a well >
  
  EVs can be coal powered. >
  
  I am at a point where all I can say is “stupid republicans”.  They continue to double down on ignorance, in the name of Party. >
  
  This goes far beyond stupid because it is a willful desire to do harm. The term for that is evil. This is evil. >
  
  Government is just political theater and a waste of money. >
  
  You’re confusing politics with government. Government is simply a structure to manage services. It’s politics that’s ridiculous. Government isn’t some amorphous blob that runs amok. It’s the people in the critical positions that are the problem. Government is essential to a stable society >
  
  Sounds like they will just be forced to only buy used cars from other states then. No one is going to make cars just for a welfare state. >
  
  Not even that.   It's just grandstanding for the base:
  
  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 order to stem the tide of famine we are phasing out eating on a voluntary basis. >
  
  get left behind in the dust of global progress by 2035 >
  
  That's exactly what I have been explaining to a lot of thoughtless people, i.e., we (USA) may decide that we don't want to invest in EVs, however, the rest of the world is moving towards EVs and at an increasing rate. We will be left with the ICE technology while the rest of the world will innovate away from ICE. >
  
  I'm sure the world's car manufacturers hang on every word that dribbles out of the Wyoming legislature./s >
  
  Wyoming could vanish from the face of the earth and no one would notice for like two weeks. >
  
  I'd miss Jackson Hole, some pretty awesome skiing. >
  
  You must be loaded. >
  
  Hey hey hey, I haven't had a single drink yet today! >
  
  Ah, I'm just the kind of pleb who will never be able to afford to ski at Jackson. >
  
  the ev industry will never recover from this. state with a population of a single NYC street is totally their target. >
  
  At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see them try and bring back regular gas.   The old school leaded kind from the 70's. >
  
  And the Republican House brought back smoking indoors. Now Representatives can cough like crazy as a fellow member puffs carcinogen laden smoke all over the place.
  Another Republican state legislature has declared that its female members can't have bare arms because that's not "professional" enough. (No such restriction on the male members, though.)
  Republicans are furiously trying to march backwards as quickly as possible. >
  
  But can they bear arms? >
  
  Probably not in the chamber >
  
  Can they arm bears? >
  
  Wyoming has a population of less than 600,000 people. Wyoming has 3 representatives in Congress. 2 senators and a House seat. Washington DC has a population of over 700,000 and no congressional representation at all. >
  
  Three.  One in the House.  Two in the Senate.  Every state has two in the Senate. >
  
  I think maybe one of their senators should get axed for this stunt. >
  
  I for one am anxiously anticipating the new coal powered models from the big three auto manufacturers.  Nice big spacious trunks to carry unspent coal.  ‘They say’ that clean coal is better for the environment than harmful than wind (windmills cause cancer), solar (sun causes cancer) and electric (wokeness causes cancer).   It’s nice to see Wyoming has it all figured out…I sure hope the other red states get their act together before it’s too late to pitch in on global warming. >
  
  Next up, all vehicles by 2045! Only horseback travel from that point on. Then horses banned by 2055 and then walking shoes by 2065.
  Return to Monke by 2075. >
  
  A devious mind would push to pass this as it's only seen as a "joke" and "symbolic", then down the road slip in amendments that remove the voluntary part when people aren't paying as much attention. >
  
  Republicans surely wouldn’t ever do something dishonest like that!!!1 >
  
  Republicans have nothing to offer but culture war bs. >
  
  The horse and buggy will be fine. >
  
  The most dangerous place to stand when Newsom receives his copy of a resolution from the legislature of a state with less population than his 5th largest city, is between his desk and the trash can. >
  
  Ironically, India plans on being 100% electric vehicles by 2035. >
  
  Heck with all the tuk tuks they could do it >
  
  I bet Elon is real happy about them owning the woke treehuggin' Libs. >
  
  Tesla announced layoffs and a hiring freeze, and for the first time ever, discounts of 20%.    I guess making the brand all about an individual was not the greatest idea if that individual is going to emerge as some sort of malignant bigot and alienate the majority of his customer base. >
  
  Or it’s just Wyoming knows that there’s stretches from town to town well over 100 miles on roads with no cell service and definitely no charging stations and good luck surviving in the winter when your stuck on a road for hours on end. Tell me how that’ll work for ya.
