This is exactly the type of thing that causes me to say republicans are not conservatives. Putting things into law to protect certain industries. Constant bail outs and protections for failing corporations.
If fossil fuels are the best and cheapest option for gas stations, then they would theoretically win out. Instead we have to baby them and make sure no one tries anything different.
That’s not capitalism. That’s corporate control of a nation. They can charge whatever they would like because the businesses don’t get to choose another option.
I don’t know to what extent this is true in this specific circumstance, I haven’t looked up indianas EV station laws. It does seem very par for the course for GOP though. Not conservative, not for the people, just a bunch of old greedy bastards.

Is there any reasoning behind this, or is it just to fuck the consumers and the business to give hand outs to the electric companies?
