Governments are desirous to spend your tax {dollars} on ineffective initiatives to save lots of the planet from world warming. The Biden Administration spent BILLIONS on investing in EV infrastructure that by no means got here to fruition. I spoke on how Biden authorized of a $7.5 billion spending package deal to construct EV charging stations all through the nation, however solely SEVEN had been produced in over a two-year span. His most up-to-date local weather debacle that got here to mild rests on decarbonizing the Postal Service.
The federal government offered the Postal Service with funding to buy 60,000 “Subsequent Technology Supply Automobiles” (NGDVs) from protection contractor Oshkosh. Oshkosh has by no means produced an electrical truck and it’s apparent why Biden prevented different extra established EV producers. Congress authorized $3 billion to spend on this $10 billion venture derived from the Inflation Discount Act – the most important guise for local weather spending in US historical past.
Out of that $3 BILLION, solely 93 automobiles have been delivered since 2022. Numerous points have been reported with these NGDVs from leaks to airbags. Worse, Oshkosh was by no means geared up to deal with the manufacturing of three,000 automobiles, and has acknowledged that they’ve solely been capable of produce ONE truck per day. They’re now working to refine their manufacturing to create 80 vans per day. Once more, there have been different avenues and established factories.
Does anybody imagine these small mail vans are really polluting the surroundings? Ought to the American folks merely settle for that they could not obtain mail when the climate is lower than ideally suited? “Neither snow nor rain nor warmth nor gloom of night time stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” until compelled to drive electrical!
