Ban Connecticut's DEEP Rather Than Gasoline Powered Vehicles

One can be easily confused in reading what the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“DEEP”) actually does in the state.  I do not see anywhere in its website where it, and/or Connecticut Taxpayers are legally bound to follow the environmental rules of California.  According to the State of Connecticut government portal (portal.ct.gov): "The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is a state agency in the U.S. State of Connecticut. The department oversees the state's natural resources and environment and regulates public utilities and energy policy." Also, "The mission of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is to conserve, improve and protect the air, water and other natural resources and environment of the State of Connecticut while fostering sustainable development. The agency’s mission includes the goals of reducing electrical rates and decreasing costs for Connecticut ratepayers, ensuring the reliability of the state’s energy supply, increasing the use of clean energy, and developing the state’s energy-related economy for conserving natural resources, thereby enhancing the quality of life in Connecticut. DEEP’s programs preserve and protect from pollution the state's waters, air, land and other natural resources." 

 However, Proposed section 22a-174-37, Low NOx and ACT Regulation (PR2023-020) and Proposed section 22a-174-36d, Advanced Clean Cars II (PR 2023-023) follow the rules of California to eliminate the sale of gasoline powered vehicles in state by 2035 and, forcing all Connecticut Taxpayers/Drivers to use electric vehicles if they hope to go anywhere at all.

While at it, why not ban all fossil fuels and their products as well? How you might heat your homes is totally irrelevant to the environmental and unelected political elitists that are not accountable to Connecticut Taxpayers while dictating these insane policies and laws.  Heating your homes with heating oil or natural gas?  Both are environmentally friendly but forget that, you must ban them.  So what, that you risk freezing to death and/or having your pipes burst when frozen?   We all know that His Royal Con-Man King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable and his Connecticut Democrat Party can use any type of energy they want to while living in splendor off the labors of the Connecticut Taxpayer supporting their incoherent economic environmental gibberish.  You must be made to understand that you are not a member of this ruling class, but merely a subject with no voice or no vote. Obviously, the environmental mecca and liberal wasteland known as California is what Connecticut Taxpayers must obey.  

Maybe Connecticut Taxpayers should ban the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection?  Maybe Connecticut Taxpayers should de-fund it?  Maybe Connecticut Taxpayers should realize that they no longer have any say whatsoever in what the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection wants to do, can do, will do, and will do at whatever cost that its denizens of the Connecticut Administrative State shall determine in their sole and absolute discretion. First the ban will be on gas cars and soon after furnaces, air conditioning units and afterwards, all of the plastic products in your bathroom will be banned as they are made with petroleum derivatives. Life as we know it will be banned in the guise of this Utopian zero emission endeavor of economic despair, discouragement, and destruction.  

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is overreaching its "governance" with this totalitarian decree.  Who is going to pay for all these supposed subsidies for electric vehicles that are no way economically affordable in a high tax, high cost-of-living state like Connecticut?  I forgot; the Connecticut Taxpayers will get the bill as they are continually shafted by all the various corporate welfare gimmicks Connecticut's state government force feeds to them.  An economy needs the basic laws of supply and demand to function daily.  Connecticut seems to be an example of a command economic system dictated by the ruling Democrat Party elite by forcing Taxpayers to buy vehicles that they do not want and cannot afford. And there is not yet one legislator speaking out to call this entire hallucinatory and fantastic “policy" pipe dream a farce, and calling for the free market to take over as to what vehicles Taxpayers wish to drive.

 This is just another example of Ned Lamont's Democrat Party economics and economic failure that Connecticut Taxpayers will pay for.  It is 1776 all over again.
