Oil and Gas podcast

Wyoming seeks to ban electric vehicles

Email not displaying correctly? View the web version

I was listening to a new podcast last night. Well, new to me anyway. Oil and Gas This Week from the Oil and Gas Global Network is a weekly podcast hosted by Paige Wilson and Mark LaCour. I know, I'm boring but one interesting story they spoke of is the Wyoming State Legislature banning electric vehicles by the year 2035. Amongst the reasons is that they will hurt the Wyoming economy by reducing gas and oil production. Here's the bill. A story by The Hill states that another issue is adding power charging stations would require massive amounts of new power. I can see Wyoming's point on all issues regarding EVs. They've asked other oil producing states like Texas to join in with their own legislation. Colorado, as you probably know, is looking to go the opposite way looking to increase renewables.
