Who is actually building them? Who will operate them? Why didn’t they just underwrite loans to Tesla and ChargeAmerica and a few of the others who build these thing for a living?
I heard that one of the 3rd party providers was the spawn of the VW diesel emissions scandal thingy settlement.
Big scale social engineering Robin Hood with with a big stick.
They probably had to built and operated by Woman Minority Owned and Operated companies.
Then built by Union employees.
Actually, I am not really joking when it comes to SELLING to the Federal Government.
During the second Gulf War and Afghanistan occupation the Federal Government bought a fair amount of Lumber and plywood.
The lumber had to have grade stamps from a US grading agency.
So, there were mills in Europe that paid to join the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau(WCLIB)out of Oregon.
Then there were two wholesale companies that sold almost all the containers of European lumber to the Fed gov. It all had to be shipped to Germany or Bahrain. So, lumber from eastern Europe. Especially, non EU countries at the time, had a freight and cost advantage.
The two wholesale companies were both Minority Woman Owned companies. One was a guy I knew who set up a company in his wife’s name. She was an Asian American. Born in OR.
The other company was out of Black Hills. Native American woman owned.
