Washington State Looks to Ban New Gas Cars

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/2/2022 9:54:43 AM

The Democrats’ war on the internal combustion engine isn’t just solely an obsession with the radical Left and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). It’s being exported to the state legislatures now. It’s also not shocking that most left-wing states are adopting such measures that are Green New Deal-influenced. In Washington, there could be a ban on new gas cars. Yes, they’re taking the Oregon Trail game to its most extreme limits. It's back to the methods of travel not seen since the Donner Party san cannibalism (via Daily Wire): Washington state is preparing to ban most new gasoline-powered vehicles within the next eight years.

Oh, the car dealerships are going to LOVE this legislated Restraint of Trade law, especially those on the border with WA but in other states!! Also, how will insurance claims be handled? Will someone who lost a car with an ICE be forced to be replaced with an EV, whether or not the owner wants or can afford one? This will definitely find itself in court being challenged.

Even the dumbest legislator knows that EVs aren't ready for prime time, nor is the electrical infrastructure. This is all about limiting and controlling your travel to keep you in the fitly, dangerous Dem cities they created. They need your taxes there.

Ignore all those starving people! We're saving the planet! Look for an exodus of Washingtonians. Elections matter. The people of Washington voted for the clowns pushing this law. The people being elected are ruling rather than governing.

Liberals truly believe that they can run the world's largest economy on wind turbines and solar panels. Whenever there is a showdown between politicians and market forces, the latter always wins.

There has been a 60/40%SocioCommi split with Republicans in WA for too long.I am hopeful that the sheep are getting sufficiently upset with the Inslee ideology ruining their lives and their bank balancees, that we may see a desperately needed change reflected at mid terms. Everyone should know by now that EVs are s complte fiasco where saving the planet is concerned. The people do not ask where the electric power that fuels the batteries comes from, coal and gas, or where the components of rare earths come from that are needed to build these batteries.For now the gaslighting continues unabated.

The Green New Deal is essentially a Soviet "Five Year Plan". My thinking is this. If you live in a part of America where it routinely snows and the temperatures go to single digits, an electric car is the financial purchase decision of a moron. And if you live in a portion of America where the power grid is strained in the summer because everyone is running air conditioning, what will it be like when hundreds of thousands of people will also need to charge their cars? How many new power stations are you currently building to handle that increased load?

Get ready to pay enormous costs for everything when this nonsense goes nationwide. Our electrical grid cannot handle our needs, charging is time consuming and vehicles cannot travel as far as gas powered without replenishment. Energy/food/clothing/medial supply shortages will rule the day. Americans being lead to slaughter and none of it is necessary.

I am 71 and my grandfather rode around ina horse and buggy, but his father, my great grandfather drove an EV or at least did until he turned it over in a ditch and went back to hitching old Maude up to the buggy. Electric vehicles aren't the future but the past. Before WWI EVs and steam powered vehicles both outsold gasoline powered cars. Henry Ford and his Model T and assembly line along with the electric starter and muffler and a few other choice improvements put the nail in the coffin of the alternative fuel cars. Electric cars are not green, not cheap, and not efficient anywhere except maybe on a golf course. I also doubt anyone out in western Washington State is going to do anything but continue to push to join Idaho. It is sad that Seattle can out vote the entire rest of the state.

This report might not reach the level of “Babylon Bee” satire, but it sure pegs the hell out of the needle on the irony meter. As the Biden Border Crisis continues to worsen, and the most inept president in modern history and his war on energy have contributed to increasing gas prices, virtually from the beginning of his presidency, Mexico would like a word: Our southern neighbor is not happy with Americans crossing the border in search of lower prices at Mexican gas stations. That statement alone is ironic on multiple levels, but it gets “better.” As reported by Reuters on Saturday,

The Biden administration has shown to have a proven woke agenda on gender issues, going so far as to threaten those who don't adhere to accepting certain lifestyles. This has even expanded to the military, where veterans can be stripped of hard-earned benefits if they don't adhere to a code of conduct. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has made it clear that he is putting the administration on notice when it comes to such "immoral and potentially illegal" actions, though. Steube is himself a veteran, as are many of the other signatories who signed onto a Friday letter to Secretary of Veteran Affairs Denis McDonough provided to Townhall.

Who says we can’t build bridges with the commie-loving, groomer-excusing, weather-worshiping race freaks of the left? We both seem to agree on one thing – all good and patriotic Americans need to take action to ensure that this pedo-curious, race-obsessed band of Marxist weirdos gets its collective Schumer kicked next November. Well, I think we agree on that. I know I do, and I know you do – we want to see them suffer total repudiation and more humiliation than even a Bulwark staffer can get into. But what is odd is that they seem to want the same thing.

“Convoy” singer C.W. McCall has died at 93. He had been battling cancer and was in hospital care in his Colorado home when he died on Friday, April 1. The death has been confirmed by his son, Bill Fries III, reports the Washington Post. McCall rose to fame as a country music star with songs about driving 18-wheelers and big-rigs, including 1976 number one hit “Convoy.” His real name was Bill Fries and he was an ad executive turned singer. He created the character of C.W. McCall, a truck driver in a series of commercials for a Midwestern bread company.

“You cannot begin to understand it until it happens to you.” Those are the wise words spoken to me by a friend upon learning that I had traveled to the West Coast last week to say goodbye to my mother. She passed away a few days after I left. And boy, were my friend’s words true. I’m dealing with emotions that I do not understand, cannot comprehend. I can’t sleep or eat. It is the worst thing I have experienced. I am broken. Shattered, actually. My Uber driver this morning, when I told him of my grief, said, “It is very challenging to live a good life.” Indeed. Life was rough for my mum.

The passing of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill and Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signing of it into law have escalated into a tense war between the increasingly solid red state and The Walt Disney Corporation, which continues to double down on its heavily pro-LGBT stance. Disney has vowed to fight for the repeal of the law despite the fact that it reflects the values of parents throughout the state — as well as many of the company’s cast members (which is what Disney calls its employees). But, just as we’ve expected from Florida’s governor, DeSantis isn’t simply rolling over — he’s fighting back.

In May 2021, the Florida legislature passed a major overhaul of state election law. The law’s goals were to make elections more transparent and trustworthy while outlawing known abuses of the system, particularly those abuses that came into being based on the whim of unelected officials and judges to allegedly allow the system to cope with an election during a pandemic. These are bullet points that describe what the Florida law does. Under SB-90, voters can still request to vote-by-mail instead of voting in person. However, some changes are being made to the request process. Voters can submit a vote-by-mail application. It outlawed the mass mailing of ballots.

But in her and in Joe Biden, you see the problems of advanced age and related issues that are harming our country. Of course, it’s not just the age, but lousy policies that they are trying to impose on us as well, such as Joe Biden deciding that instead of working on promoting more American production he’s just going to drain our reserve of petroleum dry to try to drop prices before the midterms so Americans won’t decimate Democrats in November.

Parkland High alum David Hogg has not done much with his life since experiencing an admittedly horrific and unfathomable terror. Look, politics aside, what Nikolas Cruz did that day is horrendous. Full stop. I am sorry for the victims and the families of victims. However, it’s been really hard to sympathize with some of the survivors since almost the very beginning. People process traumatic events differently, but when kid victims lecture the entire nation over Constitutional rights with which they disagree and have no historical or contextual understanding of – nor grasp basic human nature and common sense – it comes across not as processing grief and horror and rather just…self-aggrandizement.
