These smooth brain lefty losers are self-loathing nitwits of the first degree. Hopefully, they will “end it all” for the good of society.

If this is enshrined as legal I would pull all deliveries of any fossil fuel from the state. If some other energy company wants to pay the freight of this be that could do so.

If I was the CEO of any of the oil companies, I would refuse to sell our products in Vermont.

I do wonder how the appetite would be for that if the oil companies, in response, simply pulled out of Vermont entirely. Shutter all the gas stations, forbid sales to Vermont, and let the politicians figure out how they’ll power everything.

Would serve a couple of different experiments. First to test the will of these morons who pass these ridiculous laws, but also just what happens when the power source goes to zero flat all at once.

vermont is a tiny market, so their best bet is for all the petro energy suppliers to simply pull out lock, stock, and barrel ...

Fine with me, stop all fuel into Vermont.

I can make it through VT to and from NH to NY on a tank, so at least there will be less traffic.

Most, if not all of the extra moisture in the atmosphere that has been causing flooding and blizzards around the world was put up there by an undersea volcano in the Pacific Ocean a little over a year ago.

The "media" and "scientists" have chosen to ignore this as it doesn't fit their agenda.

The extra moisture that hits land then evaporates and continues the cycle for some period of time.

All the oil companies have to do is bring this up and they should win.

If they don't, cut off Vermont.

The oil companies need to make the Vermontsters pay. Don’t send any petroleum products to Vermont. This is the way the commie turd rollers destroy capitalism while making their own asses rich at the same time. Screw Vermontnam.

The gringos shouldn’t fall for this unless the Messicans pay for damages caused by el niño y la niña.

Good question. The TOTALITARIAN “lawmakers” should cease using any fossil fuels. Make it a law.

>Note to fossil fuel companies: stop sending fuel to Vermont.<

Vermont is treading on thin ice. The state is likely a very. very small percentage of revenue for these targeted oil companies. The revenue is also likely smaller than the cost of the new extortion tax.

Vermont’s public pensions funds need topping up...?

Medicaid bill going up exponentially...?

This ain’t really about protecting the earth, is it...

Sounds to me these lawmakers aren’t thinking that energy companies won’t just desert that dumbass state entirely. No gas stations, no refining - no nothing. Just pick up and leave to do business elsewhere. Talk about food deserts? How about ‘gas desert’ for an entire state. Vermont can take its “Freedom and Unity” and stick it.

H.P. Lovecraft, in his horror stories of 100 years ago considered Vermont to be a backwoods hillbilly redneck area of New England.

No wonder Bernie Sanders does so well there.
