Senate JOINT RESOLUTION NO. SJ0004

Phasing out new electric vehicle sales by 2035.

Sponsored by: Senator(s) Anderson, Boner, Cooper and Dockstader and Representative(s) Burkhart and Henderson

A JOINT RESOLUTION

for

A JOINT RESOLUTION expressing support for phasing out the sale of new electric vehicles in Wyoming by 2035.

WHEREAS, oil and gas production has long been one of Wyoming's proud and valued industries; and

WHEREAS, the oil and gas industry in Wyoming has created countless jobs and has contributed revenues to the state of Wyoming throughout the state's history; and

WHEREAS, since its invention, the gas-powered vehicle has enabled the state's industries and businesses to engage in commerce and transport goods and resources more efficiently throughout the country; and

WHEREAS, Wyoming's vast stretches of highway, coupled with a lack of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, make the widespread use of electric vehicles impracticable for the state; and

WHEREAS, the batteries used in electric vehicles contain critical minerals whose domestic supply is limited and at risk for disruption; and

WHEREAS, the critical minerals used in electric batteries are not easily recyclable or disposable, meaning that municipal landfills in Wyoming and elsewhere will be required to develop practices to dispose of these minerals in a safe and responsible manner; and

WHEREAS, the expansion of electric vehicle charging stations in Wyoming and throughout the country necessary to support more electric vehicles will require massive amounts of new power generation in order to sustain the misadventure of electric vehicles; and

WHEREAS, the United States has consistently invested in the oil and gas industry to sustain gas-powered vehicles, and that investment has resulted in the continued employment of thousands of people in the oil and gas industry in Wyoming and throughout the country; and

WHEREAS, fossil fuels, including oil and petroleum products, will continue to be vital for transporting goods and people across Wyoming and the United States for years to come; and

WHEREAS, the proliferation of electric vehicles at the expense of gas-powered vehicles will have deleterious impacts on Wyoming's communities and will be detrimental to Wyoming's economy and the ability for the country to efficiently engage in commerce; and

WHEREAS, phasing out the sale of new electric vehicles in Wyoming by 2035 will ensure the stability of Wyoming's oil and gas industry and will help preserve the country's critical minerals for vital purposes.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WYOMING:

Section 1.  That the legislature encourages and expresses as a goal that the sale of new electric vehicles in the state of Wyoming be phased out by 2035.

Section 2.  That the legislature encourages Wyoming's industries and citizens to limit the sale and purchase of new electric vehicles in Wyoming with a goal of phasing out the sale of new electric vehicles in Wyoming by 2035.

Section 3.  That the Secretary of State of Wyoming transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, each member of Wyoming's congressional delegation, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the governor of Wyoming and the governor of California.

Proving yet again that Republicans are nothing but assholes and trolls.

Even better trolling would be for Biden to announce that he's selected the entire state to be a toxic waste dump, since they enjoy pollution so much.

Murder gets so pissy anytime people don't follow the group blindly.

He should rejoice as this will hurt Tesla.

Solid move by Wyoming, but they could have included a subsection on national and/or state security.

By contributing to the electric car scam, the U.S. is playing into the Chinese belt-and-road monopoly on rare-earth minerals and China's production monopoly. By rejecting this scam of forcing the U.S. to purchase its entire supply chain from China, Wyoming is securing its state sovereignty, which will protect it from the economic calamities to be caused by ESG in general. Oddly, Wyoming is *not* one of the states to divest from the ESG scam:

..which would be a good follow-up move on the same positive trajectory.

The ESG scam has convinced the low-information people that "[we need to divest from oil because muh 'climate change' and muh 'green' policies]" (the "seen" hand"), but regime "solutions" result in global power by empowering an anti-competitive pyramid scheme (the "unseen" hand). This scam is designed to collapse the West, so any state that stands against it is taking a good corrective action.

On the plus side, once Florida is under water, the GOP will no longer be able to rely on those electoral votes.

Florida going under means a lot of Republican voters moving to other states.

Or do you think that all the old people are just going to stick around as the state sinks?

They'll still be moving to Florida as it's swamped by the ocean. Climate change and it's effects are just left wing lies.
