Maine board wants to hand decision on electric vehicle mandate to Legislature

If lawmakers step in, it will further delay a policy that environmental groups had hoped would already have been decided.

The state board considering whether to adopt a statewide electric vehicle mandate will ask the Legislature to take over the review of an issue that pits climate activists against Republican lawmakers, car dealers and others.

If lawmakers step in, it will further delay a policy that environmental groups had hoped would already have been decided.

The Board of Environmental Protection was originally scheduled to vote Dec. 21 on standards that would have gone into effect for 2027 model-year vehicles and eventually require 82% of new vehicles sold to be considered zero emissions by the 2032 model year. But the fierce rain and windstorm that lashed the state three days earlier, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of electricity customers and making many roads impassable, prompted the board to postpone its meeting. It set a new public comment deadline of Feb. 5, which effectively delayed implementation until the 2028 model year for new vehicles.

The delay was criticized by the Natural Resources Council of Maine as “deeply unfortunate and ironic” because it was caused by a storm made more destructive by climate change.

9/11 Building Collapse - Tucker Carlson has become bolder in his public assertions that the official story doesn’t add up

During a recent appearance on Prime Time with Alex Stine, well-known conservative podcaster and former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson had this to say about 9/11 and his past coverage of those who question the official narrative:

“I know that I and everyone else I knew just sort of went with the official explanation and not only didn’t question it but were very hostile to anyone who did. I was hostile to anyone who did. You know… ‘why are you… you’re crazy! You’re upsetting the survivors by asking questions!’ I said things like that. And I’m ashamed that I did, but I did, and so did everyone else that I knew.”

The subject of 9/11 came up while he was being questioned about his recent interview with alternative media mogul, Alex Jones. Carlson, who in the past year has spoken out in support of 9/11 truth, has become bolder in his public assertions that the official story doesn’t add up.

In particular, the official story of how World Trade Center Building 7 fell that day.
“And moreover, the Building 7 stuff, I’m happy to believe it collapsed because it was hit with debris from the planes or whatever but… I don’t know… I’ve personally known a number of structural engineers who are like ‘that’s not true.’ Now, what is true? I don’t know… I have no evidence. I haven’t seen anybody placing satchel charges in the building… I don’t know. It’s all speculation. But it’s an entirely fair question… it is not crazy… to ask, ‘how did those buildings collapse in the way they did?… Particularly the building that was not hit by a plane?’ Like… what was that?”

Though Tucker Carlson has, by his own admission, not delved deeply into researching the World Trade Center evidence, our engineers have, and we can confidently answer his question regarding what it was— controlled demolition.

“No doubts. Not one. That didn’t happen. We instantly knew. This had to have been facilitated through a planned explosion however this was accomplished. But we instantly knew: They were brought down in a controlled manner. And we had only seen the two towers. The third tower [WTC 7], this I only understood many years later.”

The only way to save Maine is to vote the entire woke cabal out, and get rid of a bunch of bureaucrats, who have made it their mission to screw us, for their benefit, and the benefit of friends, family, etc.

It ha absolutely nothing to do with global warming

It would be much better, if all Maine folks buy nothing from China, India, etc., two of the biggest CO2 emitters in the world

I reserve the right to exchange my earnings for whatever I choose to purchase and if the government wants to attach an illegal carbon tax associated with my purchase, they can assign part of my duly paid taxes to satisfy the illegal taking.

Leave it to NRCM to blame it on the ciulimate hoax - what a joke. EV's are asnoither scam based on subsidies aka wind and solar power. Citizens don't want them and more evidence of the failure around EV's appears daily - here's anew one via ZeroHedge:

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
