From my mailbox:
PIERRE, S.D. (May 29, 2024) – Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced the recipients of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2023 Clean School Bus Program rebate competition, funded by President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. The rebates will help Tripp-Delmont School District 33-5 in North Dakota to purchase one clean school bus for its students. The Program will help South Dakota accelerate the transition to zero-emission buses from existing diesel-fueled school buses, which have been linked to asthma and other conditions that harm the health of students and surrounding communities.
EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan will join schoolchildren, district leaders and community members in Jackson, Miss., today to make the announcement and highlight how the program will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save schools money, and better protect children’s health. The investment will also drive demand for American-made batteries and vehicles, boost domestic manufacturing, and create good-paying jobs.
“President Biden believes every child deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy life and breathe clean air, and his Investing in America agenda is designed to deliver just that,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “With today’s latest round of funding, we are transforming the nation’s school bus fleet to better protect our most precious cargo—our kids–saving school districts money, improving air quality, and bolstering American manufacturing all at the same time.”
Er.. yeah..
I would never send my kid on an electric schoolbus in South Dakota winters! The government just can’t face facts. All part of the climate scam agenda.
Ahahah.
Electric bus on a rural route in SD winters.
What can go wrong?
Did the press release come out of Pierre?
that’s funny
seriously how long is that battery going to last?
Electric buses haven’t worked anywhere they’ve been tried. What an expensive crock.
I know this was only posted to rip on Biden but this isn’t new, we already have districts using these – https://listen.sdpb.org/education/2022-10-31/electric-busses-coming-to-south-dakota-school-districts
Shh. PP’s little outrage machine would then have to talk about domestic abusers and overt racists clogging up the primary ticket.
And here we find a floater because the little propaganda minister plugged his septic tank.
Anon @9:28–I think Pat does an excellent job of revealing an ongoing story, and an important one, of how insurgents within the South Dakota Republican Party are using a variety of strategies designed to disrupt Party Leadership and destroy Party Unity. Pat reports it all…the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
