Kamala Harris Touted a $5B Electric School Bus Program. Three Years Later, It's Produced Just 60 Buses.

It's only the thought that counts, not the results. This stuff goes on all the time, especially with the corrupt green energy crap. Politicians make a corporate crony filthy rich, the crony donates money to the campaign, or uses the money to develop groups and efforts to attack political enemies and the Democrat party.

As noted, it will take time for the technology to evolve. But it will happen. Eventually, the cost will be worth it.

But in reality, technology hasn't evolved, and the cost is purely speculation because as time passes, anything electric on the road is actually not cost effective. Initial cost, insurance, and write offs due to minor collisions is scuppering the electric Utopian idea.

And??, they allocate the money. They don't build the buses.

Politicians love to implement things before they are sustainable and by doing that, they create even more wasted resources.

Nothing she does will be worth it. shes an idiot and theres a reason a while back all her staff was quitting on her. Now she is once again becoming a media creation.. good luck with that.


"The Clean School Bus program was created nearly three years ago as a provision of the 2021 infrastructure bill, which put aside $5 billion for the EPA to distribute in the form of rebates and grants over the course of five years. Since Harris's initial announcement, the agency has unveiled a $1 billion tranche of grants for 280 school districts and a second tranche of rebates, worth $900 million, for another 530 districts. None of those districts have deployed any buses under the program."

"This only makes economic sense if the bus is paid for with a grant like we received," Jeff Dicks, the superintendent of the Newell-Fonda and Albert City-Truesdale school systems in northern Iowa, told the Free Beacon. "The cost is so prohibitive that the cost savings are not worth it."

They forget that in the Northeast especially, winter gets pretty cold. Cold weather and those batteries don't play well together. Rochester in New York tried this with their public transportation and on the first cold day, the buses wouldn't start. And do you really want your child riding above a battery that size that could cause untold havoc if it explodes during an accident?

How about when diesel fuel jells up in winter & the fuel has to be treated or engines left running so fuel lines don't freeze especially in older vehicles, genius?

DUH!
