(Daily Caller)—Ohio could soon enact state legislation that would preempt electric vehicle (EV) mandates in the state.
Ohio HB 201 would prohibit any state agency, county or township from restricting the sale or use of a motor vehicle based on the type of energy used to power a vehicle, as well as prevent any state agency from adopting California’s stringent vehicle emissions standards, according to its text. The bill has progressed out of the committee process and now awaits a vote on the state House floor.
“HB 201 will ensure that no state agency or local government can hinder the free-market innovations we are seeing in the automotive industry by restricting the use or sale of any vehicle based on what type of engine or fuel source a vehicle uses,” Sarah Spence, executive director of the Ohio Conservative Energy Forum, said of the legislation in June. “Allowing the free market to work will give the auto industry the time needed to balance cost and quality while reshoring our manufacturing and supply chain.”
Republicans control 66 of the state House’s 100 seats, and the party has a supermajority in the state Senate. The state’s governor, Mike DeWine, is also a Republican, so the bill cannot be obstructed solely by Democratic opposition.
While the bill would serve as a roadblock to any future attempt by a Democrat-controlled state government to impose an EV mandate, a federal mandate would still supersede the bill’s provisions, according to Cleveland.com.
EVs have a sticker price that is about $5,000 higher on average than that of gas-powered vehicles, according to a July 2023 analysis by Kelley Blue Book.
The bill’s Republican sponsors have lauded it as a means to stymie inflation, and also pointed out that the American EV industry writ large is heavily dependent upon Chinese supply chains, according to Cleveland.com.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
