New York turns back to diesel snow plows and leaves electric vehicles behind
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/9/23 | Eden Villalovas

New York will rely on diesel-powered snow plows as opposed to electric ones this Winter, halting its goal to put electric ones on the street after a failed testing period.

Darn. I was hoping lots of snow for NYC to inflict pain on these wackos after the electric snowplows fail miserably.

once again, fossil fuels are there to save the day

when your car need a tow in the Winter, a fossil-fuel-powered truck is there, ready to go

when there’s a major fire, fossil-fuel-powered fire trucks are there to put it out

when there’s an injury, a fossil-fuel-powered ambulance is ready to carry

fossil fuels to the rescue!

Doesn’t plowing snow require yuge amounts of energy?

Hold up there, New York. Diesel engines pollute the atmosphere. They ruin the Erf.
I suggest only horse-drawn plows. No. I demand only horse-drawn plows!

Typical Leftist nonsense...re-invent the wheel. Abandon things our ancestors learned and practiced successfully and do everything stupid instead.

Oversized electric golf cart fanbois will not be pleased with the laughter at their fetish.

I don’t see the problem.

Every time an electric plow spontaneously blows up, they melt a whole bunch of snow.

Streets clear.

Everyone happy.

And, of course, the idiots who decided that EV snow plows were a good idea have kept their jobs.

EV advocates would do better to promote EVs where they are actually useful, but since most of them (and, yes, not all) are just socialists interested in killing ICE, they’ll just say/ do anything to promote EVs.

Until reality hits.

I’m sure the low-information politicians who wasted taxpayer money for something so obvious will pony up to make up the losses.
