Is Vermont’s Zero Emissions Strategy Worse for the Environment Than Doing Nothing?
Vermont Governor Phil Scott (D – Registered as a Republican) has an announcement. He is appeasing the idiot Left by “joining 15 states and the District of Columbia in a push to electrify buses and trucks.” Electric shock therapy might be better because these vehicles are worse for emissions, not better.

Vermont Escalates to Threats of Fines or Prison for Those Who Violate Stay-at-Home Order

Say Thank You! The Vermont General Assembly Just Improved the New Hampshire Advantage

Vermont is very progressive. Bernie is after all their US Senator (can anyone name the other one?) The state fully embraced Obamacare, the exchanges, Medicaid Expansion, and developed its own oversight provider network. And it loses gobs of money every year.
