Wyoming declares war on electric car

The whole world is falling head over heels for the electric car. Worldwide? No, Wyoming, one of the most sparsely populated states in the US, continues to courageously resist.

“Electric car threat for the future”

Wyoming is a rectangular state in the sparsely populated Midwestern United States. Six times the Netherlands, with just over half a million inhabitants. Because of the wide prairie landscape, the state is very popular with the makers of western films. But Wyoming also produces quite a bit of oil and gas, not to mention coal. That’s why the residents of the state see a bleak future if everyone starts driving a plug-in car.

Partly because they see the electric car as a typical belch of the woke city dwellers. Because let’s face it: what could be better than with a roaring muffler, tweaked in such a way that it spews out stinking black clouds of smoke to taunt the progressives, racing down the highway on a truck? Well then.

Ban on electric cars

And while liberal-governed American states, such as California, are doing everything they can to ban fossil fuel cars by 2035, six Republicans from Wyoming wanted to give those intensely hated arrogant Democratic soy drinkers a little shit.

They therefore submitted a bill that will ban the sale of electric cars in Wyoming from 2035.

Renewable energy Wyoming booming

Incidentally, not every resident of Wyoming agrees with this crusade. Because wind energy is booming in Wyoming. Logical, given the flat terrain where the winds blow with unprecedented force, the state is ideally suited for windmills. And what about geothermal energy? According to many people, Wyoming could become very wealthy from renewable energy. It is smarter to focus fully on the transition. Because sustainable energy creates many more jobs than extracting oil and gas from the ground.
