Stupid. Neither cars nor "big oil" caused the Modern Warm Period. Even though the law is retroactive and looks at one year in the past (year 2000), oil or gas businesses doing business in Vermont this year have real reason to worry that they'll be punished in the future for year 2024's "greenhouse gas".
Don't be surprised if all oil and gas companies quit doing business in Vermont.

The easiest thing to do is cut off all the blue states from oil and gas

Then don’t sell them gas/oil. See how well Vermont does at that point.

It’s just a shakedown.
Once the government uses up this money they will move on to some other sector. Vehicle manufacturers, the lawnmower industry, gas appliance manufacturers, etc.
One thing that won’t be a target is themselves, even though they use and consume all the above.
Funny how that works.

Oil companies should with draw all their products from the state and quit selling them there. Other more friendly states will gladly take their portion.

Which is exactly what they should do. They should do the same for Hawaii.

I’ve done the calculations.
The “costs associated with climate change” is $0 per gallon of product.

Howz about the oil companies just refusing to provide any of their products to that silly little turd state? We’d greatly enjoy watching them freeze to death in the dark.

When you have many $millions invested in a producing field you can’t just “stop producing there”. You have contracts to pay for leased equipment and to deliver product well into the future. It’s not unusual for wells to go through periods of income and loss. As I read it, this particular rip-off has been calibrated to not hit too hard at first but it will later. Some of the best paying jobs in the state may go away over time.

How much would it cost the oil companies to stop delivering any products (gas, heating oil, etc) to the state? That’s what they should do.

The “OIL” companies should ask themselves one question.
How would I handle this if it were 1964?
To: Tell It Right
The oil companies need to wait until the Arabs and Muzzies pay Vermont their share first and then refuse to allow any of their products to be sold in the Vermont sh*thole.
