That was good to hear.
That was a pretty nice gesture. I'm guessing since the tour is over, they might be out of work for a while.... Makes for a Merry Christmas for sure.
I hope there’re some carpet guys and gals on the road crew

Infrastructure you ask?
No problem. There are 8 parking spaces in the entire state to fast charge your truck overnight and they're all in the same location to make it convenient.

To meet the mandated EV numbers, the state may be forced to purchase EV school busses.
.....who could have imagined that happnin'
.....who could have imagined that happnin'
My 2 cents: It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand the concept of limited oil supply and reserves. Eventually, not our lifetimes, but the supply and or capacity to locate and extract this oil will become cost prohibitive and or obsolete. However ! To abandon its use and our creativity to locate and extract, just like our current EV creativity and technological innovations, would be foolish. Someone has to be the pioneer’s, and make small or even large mistakes in order to find improvement….mind as well be the West !To meet the mandated EV numbers, the state may be forced to purchase EV school busses.

A story on CBS news a couple days ago. The biggest manufacturer of electric school buses has closed.
Truer words were never spoken (strong language warning) from the new show "Landman"
Biden releases Chinese prisoner arrested with 47,000 child sex abuse images
President Joe Biden has commuted the sentence of a Chinese national convicted of possessing child pornography after 47,000 files of child pornography were found on the man's computer. The commutation was part of a prison swap between the United States and China. This comes as the Biden White House announced its "largest single-day grant of clemency" in America

Here's how free market works.oil companies know oil will become hard to get some day down the road....20 years 40, 67?My 2 cents: It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand the concept of limited oil supply and reserves.

They know about when that decade will occur. Not wanting to go broke, they (some) have invested in alternative energy sources. They, not government mandates will insure we will have electricity and transportation. They, the free market (greedy oil companies) will point us where we need to go. If they are sure that there's at least 50 years or more before oil for fuel begins to slow ......then there's not a lot of incentive to spend tens of billions and jump on the windmill bandwagon.... ...not yet.
Government mandates are about "saving the planet", not about reality.
Governments like the drama of scaring people to death, then showing us how much they care about us by saving us.
They create a non existent problem, convince us (some of us) "the earths on fire and were all going to die soon"
They propose green energy, then mandate green energy and a small percentage bark and clap like trained seals..... all so thankful that the government cares and loves them so much.
How do they think they can command a company to build and sell vehicles...... When there aren't enough buyers.
I make 15% of my 500,000 vehicles next year electric as per government requirements.
I only sell 4.5% of those vehicles......because people refuse to buy them. I invested 15 billion developing the technology, the manufacturing facilities only to find tha nobody wants them.... Oh, then we have a recall.
Two years later the government tells me I have to up production to 16%.
This is what's happening.
Here's reality. Convince people to buy EVs.
When people demand EVs, the manufacturers will voluntarily make them.
You cannot make EV demands if the infrastructure isn't there. It might begin to work if there were an excessive number of fast charging stations..... Meaning every parking lot, hundreds at athletic stadiums, hundreds at Walmart Superstores, stations everywhere just like gas stations.
We are no where near ready...... Not even 10 years from now.
There are currently 13,000 electric semi trucks in the US ......out of 12 million.
If we converted all 12 million semi trucks to Electric, how long would it take to cool the earth by .01 degrees f?
I'm guessing 24,000 years.
The mandates crush business, small and large for ZERO gain..... Except for the hugs and kisses inside the state capitol buildings in liberal states.
.....ahhh, 'smatter O fact, I do feel better now.. it's certainly not going to be a FEDERAL mandate any time soon.
It would be better to release prisoners serving time because Kamala put them in jail for smoking pot.
Remember the exhaust smell, back as kids during pickup and drop off at school?It could get nastyTo meet the mandated EV numbers, the state may be forced to purchase EV school busses.
.....who could have imagined that happnin'
at times, as they kept the engines idling. I wonder if any studies have been conducted, measuring health and intelligence of children who were not exposed to carbon monoxide.Free Markets left to their own devices and Government mandated policies are both necessary tools to apply or to locate, when one or both pull societies function and health out of balance.
Example: free markets created PFAS and now society is in a pickle about eating pickles
Government mandated vaccines was oversight that needed over sighting
Once society comes around to accepting the responsibility that respecting each other’s needs and wants is as important as respecting our own needs and wants, then we can work on balancing out issues.

3x as expensive. It's ok, the government is mandating that taxpayers will pay the extra...... And you already know they will be replacing busses that are in good running condition.
The government can state their case if they want to make changes. They can then allow voters to decide. Sounds fair to me.
I hear you Highup, improvements in technology are required.
Voting on mandates is a good idea, but not listening to all the commercials and propaganda leading up to it
Parody has been around for a long time poking fun at societal issues, but are we
In the flammable danger zone too …..
Sure ! Poke fun, but in a way that leaves the listener thinking about improving, not digging their heels into a one sided, fits all approach

Propaganda is usually easy to spot. You still have to peel outside the box to see what's outside. Global warming theories have become fact... Inside the box.
In the 60s, 70s ,80s, 90s and up till today, threats of
...we only have 10 years left or it will be too late
...the world's on fire
...there won't be any ice left on the poles
...polar bears are dying off
...storms are more intense
...storm frequency is increasing
...record heat
.record cold
............sea levels are rising.
All of it false. All of it is inside the box, along with mandates to fix the problem that doesn't exist.
People are too comfortable inside the box. It's ok to go outside to explore what's outside.
There are thousands of scientists and meteorologists around the globe that dispell global warming, especially human caused warming. But we listen to Al Gore, Hollywood, environmentalists, the media and the government.
I don't. Mandates instead of votes need to go bye bye. The force the views of a few with power onto the masses without power. We are supposed to instruct the government what to do, not the other way around.

Would it be wise to abandon EV technology ?
Would it be wise to abandon cleaner air quality ideas, not for the planet, but for our lungs. ?
