Electric Stall

Kamala Harris isn't as much for mandates as she was:
Back in July, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Harris's billion-dollar effort to get thousands of electric buses rolled out across the nation ended up being yet another green energy clown show:
As part of the first tranche of Clean School Bus program funding two years ago, Harris and EPA administrator Michael Regan unleashed nearly $1 billion in federal rebates for 389 school districts across all 50 states to help deliver a total 2,463 electric school buses. According to federal data reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, just 27 of those districts have proven to the EPA that their buses were delivered and that their diesel-fueled buses being replaced have been discarded. Collectively, those districts have deployed a total of 60 battery-electric or low-emissions propane-fueled school buses. And 55 additional districts have pulled out of the program, according to other federal data shared with the Free Beacon, citing a variety of technological and infrastructure concerns. In other words: More school districts have withdrawn from the program than proven that they have completed it.
So, Kamala Harris went from being an EV warrior to someone who isn't about to push this nonsense she's been pushing relentlessly during an election season. It's too politically risky, as "I keep trying to push failed attempts to push enviro-wackadooism that could potentially put Americans out of work" doesn't exactly sell well.
You still can't sell what people aren't buying...
