12 States Banning Gas-Powered Cars, Even Though Americans Still Want them

Imagine a future where the hum of electric motors replaces the roar of gas engines on our roads. This future is quickly becoming a reality as states across America take bold steps to phase out gas-powered cars.

The shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is gaining momentum, driven by concerns about climate change and air pollution. Adding fuel to this electric revolution, President Joe Biden has set an ambitious goal for the United States: 50% of all new vehicle sales should be electric by 2030.

But what does this mean for you? In this article, we’ll break down the changes happening state by state, giving you a clear picture of when and how these new rules will roll out. We’ll also tackle some common worries about electric cars.

By the end, you’ll have a solid grasp of the road ahead for America’s automotive landscape.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 **nononono*  Huge mistake. Hopefully voters in those states will think twice before they cast their ballots.

If the Live Free or Die meme holds true on this issue,  opening some stations along the  New Hampshire border might be a solid investment.

Reading the article (MSN articles are A PAIN to read, I avoid that site), it says that Connecticut has shelved any plans to ban gas cars, at least for now.

That will probably get passed later on...

In other words, twelve States are being run by fascists.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Most of those states get mighty cold in the winter.  Of course EV's run at their optimum efficiency, and charge quickly, in super cold weather.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
