Biden "guaranteed"!
"I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM
And to make that guarantee Biden's Environmental Protection Agency distributing nearly $1 billion in these electric school bus grants last year, it was raining money. In October, the Biden Administration awarded $395,000 to Wrangell for the purchase of the electric bus, intended to expedite the transition to zero-emission vehicles and foster “cleaner air in schools and neighboring communities.”
Here’s the rub: Most students in this Alaska town can walk to school or catch a ride with an older sibling or parent who works at the school. Wrangell, with its 2,100 souls and only about 25 miles of road, has a school system serving 263 students and two school buses. And there are no neighboring communities in Wrangell, unless you get on a ferry or a plane.
As for the clean air aspect, Wrangell boasts some of the cleanest air in America. It’s situated in the middle of the nation’s largest national forest, the Tongass, which is the size of Virginia yet has a population of only 70,000 across its numerous islands and archipelagos. Between the millions of carbon-capturing trees and millions of acres of carbon-absorbing ocean, Wrangell is in a rainforest that is already on hydro power. It’s not belching much of anything into the air, which is swept clean by ocean breezes.

By the way this EV bus will average 2.15 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per mile for the electric buses,

So as I've pointed out several times the generation of electricity will be the biggest problem.
For example: if all the school buses Nationally, 26 million children in the U.S. take 480,000 buses to and from school each day.
School buses travel about 12,000 miles per year per bus or almost 6 billion cumulative miles per year.

Total kWh needed per year if all school buses are EVs: 12,384,000,000 kWh or 0.3% of total.
4,165,030,000,000 kWh is generated by 11,070 power plants.
Total kWh needed per year for Semi Trucks at 63,000 miles/year X 4 million semi-trucks are on roads 252 billion miles at 1.89 kWh/mile, or 476,280,000,000 kWh/year.
Between school buses and semi trucks a total of nearly 1/2 trillion kWh or 11% MORE kWh needed.
So where is the Environmental Protection Agency with regards the needs of nearly 1,300 NEW electric generating plants
if all buses and semi trucks are EVs. How totally grossly ignorant!
