As the U.S. government rolls out an array of climate measures included in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), electric school buses have emerged as one of the low-hanging fruits. They can immediately improve health for children and communities, while expediting the broader transition to electric vehicles — a crucial step in preventing the worst impacts of climate change. That’s why it is great news that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just announced nearly $1 billion in rebate awards to 389 school districts. A full 95 percent of the buses funded will be electric school buses. Now, every state is part of the electric school bus revolution, alongside Washington, D.C., territories and tribal nations.

TexasGator thinks we’re all just stupid. EVs’s catch on fire spontaneously or when being charged or even when flooded after a hurricane. TG keeps posting pics of ICE busses that caught fire after wrecking, BIG DIFFERENCE TG, big difference.

Yes, it is a bygone era but any way you slice it, it was much better for the environment than today’s expensive plans.
All you detailed is/was true.

Too many children, parents, too, are fragile wallflowers today. Snowflakes.

Criminals & pervs today? Eliminate them, quickly, harshly and permanently.

“...That was before all the Yankees and Californians and Illegals moved in...”

Now, we can add to that “mosaic” with Chinese, Indians, Kurds, and most of the ethnic group one would find in New York City. There are rich cultures in many parts of the world, but a great culture was erased in Nashville by immigration.

When the buses can’t get kids to school the teachers unions will teach them remotely. When .they buses can’t get the kids home from school that will become the parent’s responsibility... Until the next school board election.

There are no “domesticated” mushrooms. They’re all wild, even the ones that are cultivated by man.
