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.
