Do you live a swing state named Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Georgia? Good news! The White House just announced billions to subsidize electric buses assembled by UAW members in your state. (see link at bottom) But how about if you live someplace else?
Ohio – you can play too. You voted Trump in 2020, but how about 2024 with the new bus deals? Indiana, you’re invited too. Illinois, Maryland, and Virginia, your check is in the mail, even though your 2020 loyalty isn’t yet in question.
Let me reassure everyone, I have NO BIAS against electric buses. Even though there apparently aren’t any in Florida, I’d try one out if someone pointed me in the right direction. I already ride on electric trains, and was in an electric Uber car once. My only beef is that billions are being spread around like manure to UAW assembly lines in an election year. This is how deficits happen, in case you didn’t make the connection.
We went through the same thing this year with Ford’s battery factory, offshore wind turbines, and electrified school buses. Who-eee! The future’s so bright, we’re going to need sunglasses. Are those six experimental hydrogen refineries still going ahead?
Let's build as many electric buses as we can. But why not have their users (NY, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, etc) pay what it cost to buy and operate them? Why must EVERYONE ELSE’S tax dollars be funneled to decaying inner city bus lines. We’re already subsiding their Amtrak service, aren’t we? And that’s electric/hybrid.
I’m just sayin’ . . .
