There’s $2.3 billion left unspent from a Biden-era clean school bus program. The Trump admin wants more of it to go to buses that run on fuels and not batteries.

      And not just any foreign entity, one that is a provider of fossil fuels and has a lot to lose if the US reduces its reliance on them

        The US has more to lose than Russia when it comes to fossil fuels.

        Perpetuating fossil fuels is absolutely in Russia’s interests, and Russia clearly has gone to great lengths to influence the US (and the rest of the world) in a lot of ways and for a lot of reasons. I’m just saying there’s already enough domestic pressure to explain why Trump supports fossil fuels.

      Not to be argumentative, that’s part of it, but leaded fuel brain damaged entire north american generations- just want to make sure we’re all properly mad at the right things!
