“Colorado school district to rely on diesel buses for challenging routes green buses can’t handle”
“The Boulder Valley School District says it wants to replace its diesel school buses with more environmentally friendly green buses.
However, the district is going to buy five new diesel school buses because the electric and propane-powered buses won’t hold up on the more demanding routes.
The district is set to approve the purchase of five new diesel passenger school buses for $714,876. The district is expected to approve the new school buses at its Oct. 24 meeting.”

I have friends who work for a company locally that does hybrid bus systems, the hardest nut to crack is the software to run the busses & trucks up and down our copious hills.
In the absence of this this critical and vital part of this transition to electric vehicles, one can only rationally conclude that the goal is NOT to reduce carbon emissions by "going electric" (which any thinking person immediately realizes, it is just shifting the energy generation burden from an individual ICE vehicle to a powerplant somewhere)
The larger, unspoken goal, is that by shifting the "CO2 burden from millions of individual ICE vehicles whose "emissions" CANNOT be readily controlled by a centralized decision, to a larger, centralized facility whose performance and "emissions" CAN be readily controlled and thus, control downstream EV users by simply making energy unavailable to them.
The end result, is they wish to force people onto mass transportation by this method. They want to make driving so inconvenient that mass transportation becomes more viable. It is a logical extension of the stated goal of the Democrat Party (beginning with Obama who said it openly) that they want to make the cost of energy skyrocket, thus forcing people to the same end of not driving cars.
NOTE: This is no surprise to anyone who observes their conduct...they want to limit the ownership of guns by making it more difficult and expensive to locate and buy guns. When that didn't work, they began to formulate ways to attack the availability and cost of ammunition. When that didn't work, at the local levels, they began using lawfare against gun clubs, changing their zoning, etc. to force them out of business or make them impossible to join or use. It is the same mechanism, IMO, they are using to push their MANDATES to Electric Vehicles.
In these types of cases, the pattern is clear and undeniable. The Left does not wish to broadcast their goals and prospective methods to reach those goals, and thus, put the stick in the hornet's nest, which would make their tyrannical goals harder to meet.
A free society can only operate with visiblity. The tactics used by the Left to reach their goals with respect to energy production and use are deliberately kept in the shadows.
These are the tactics of tyrannical goverments. We have a tyrannical government. There can be no argument on this.
That is the ONLY rational explanation I can formulate to explain this deliberate obfuscation of goals and actions by the currrent administration and their Republican allies and co-conspirators.
And further, people (even well-meaning people) who are fully on-board with this transition to Electric Vehicles and the mandated forcing of citizens into this transition, are (wittingly or unwittingly) contributing to tyranny. In other words, like it or not, they are filling the role of Useful Idiots. (I do apologize for any perceived offense and I apologize for it, but in our country, this is the time for truth.)
