I am sure the parents will be very understanding when their kids are stranded on the side of the road on a January morning with a wind-chill many degrees below zero.

;-)

Those school district “leaders” are gonna want to run away and hide.

That will work really well in winter when the wind blows off the lake and everything goes into the deep freeze. Batteries love that. /s

Ridiculous...Diesel fueled buses can last 20 years and any mechanic can fix them. Just a big fat waste of money.

There is no man made climate change...Period...

We could have told them that. My neighbor was leaving her battery powered mobility scooter outside a couple years ago in the dead of winter. She was always upset why her battery kept running out.

The batch we got wouldn’t start. They had to go heat the garages to warm up the buses. lol

A blue norther comes blowing in all the way from the Arctic Circle, and temperatures drop to a -20 degrees Fahrenheit, not much is going to get those buses going. What little power is developed is going to look a LOT more feeble when they begin mounting hills or clawing their way through snowbanks or frozen ruts. And keeping the kids warm, forget it.

And the solar panels or the windmills will just not provide enough electricity to charge them back up.

We will see how green this turns out when all the parents drive their children to school in fear of the yellow fire bombs.

I’m sure the good people of upstate NY will jump in with their snowmobiles and bring the kids to safety. Although with heating costs spiking under Biden, they may have to keep their jackets and boots on indoors too.

The good news about this rush to stupidity is that it will become obvious that much sooner.
Hopefully it will end several political careers and break the Donor/Reward loop.

They’ll also need a lot of hot air blowing to keep the windows clear of frost.
