Schools in one South Carolina district are getting a technological and environmental boost with the delivery of a new fleet of electric school buses.
The Orangeburg County School District on Monday was part of a celebration about the delivery of 20 new electric school buses.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan was on had at Marshall Elementary School, in Orangeburg, along with South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn and district officials to announce the funding for the new clean school buses delivered to the state.

“ Officials said South Carolina received $65.9 million for 168 new school buses from President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda.”
Ain’t Free Moola great? I guess it came from Biden’s Stash.
All of which will fail and sooner rather than later at that, assuming they don’t catch fire first and incinerate a bunch of school kids.
Electric vehicles are a scam. A big scam pushed by cronyism.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH, We need a Nationwide Mandate prohibiting all Public Employee’s and Officers of the Court to exclusively use and EV or mass Public transportation for ALL Travel, maybe it should be a FELONY for them to even Own or Use an ICE powered vehicle.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
And so what happens in the first fire that torches the bus and kills the driver and a bunch of kids?
The saltwater mist during a nor’ester or hurricane blows out transformers. The storm of 1991 certainly did.
But hey, who doesn’t love a yellow school bus?
Raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus.
Many of our friends rode the yellow school bus.
The school bus takes us there.
They should have built pedals at each seat. The kids could pedal and generate electricity to power the bus. A plus is that the kids would get exercise while traveling.
They’ll be soooooooooooooorry.
Will Camel-la be patroling these vehicles with a fire extinguisher/blanket?
$392,000 per bus.
Like herpes, these Red Chinese powered busses will end up being a curse that keeps on cursing.
....towed by powerful diesel engine tow trucks and started with jumper cables from families’ gas engine SUV’s.
A thrilling day.
Update:
The first four battery fires were put out in about two hours but spontaneously restarted and burned the garage down.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚑🚒🚑🚒🚑🚒🚑🚒
P.S. How could 168 buses cost $65.9 million? Gold plated door handles?
That comes out to almost $386,904 per bus.
I wonder where the extra money is going?

It is only about six minutes long, but he lays it out very well.
I know the Dems would say "that's not what the money was for"!
My response would be "you Dems set this precedent when you spent COVID funds to house illegals. Embrace the Suck."
If it goes to court, good. Maybe we'll have a little less pork being doled out to support liberal causes...

Extension cords and jumper cables? Democrat slush funds.
