"In yet another example of Biden incompetence, the administration is setting up rules making it harder to deliver EV charging stations.
Politicizing EV Charging Stations
The Wall Street Journal comments on The Politicized EV Charger ‘Revolution’
The government rollout of EV chargers has been a slow-motion affair, and as you’d expect the reason is politics. The feds are throwing billions of dollars to build charging stations, but they’ve added social-justice and union mandates that make the build-out more complicated than necessary.
It’s the latest payout from $7.5 billion in funding from the 2021 infrastructure spending blowout. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg spoke of handing out the money as a triumph in itself; “We have a chance to lead the world in the EV revolution.”
But the revolution’s been a long time coming. Despite the $2 billion of subsidies already authorized, only two federally funded stations have opened.
The bureaucrats are getting in their own way. The FHWA issued a rule requiring that workers for most projects be certified by the electricians union, or another government-approved training program.
The latest funding comes with rules that will make sure charging station customers are even scarcer than workers. Half of the grant money is set aside for “disadvantaged communities that are marginalized by underinvestment,” which by the agency’s description includes Alaskan and Arizonan Indian tribes and urban parks and libraries.
Half of the money will be spent where no one can afford an EV."

Buydem is a thieving scumbag who should be interviewed in Gitmo, tried for treason and executed. He is an excellent example of the population of D.C.
NIFO

He was placed there in a coup d etat stolen election, and he knew it was happening.
He is a traitor who should be executed along with everyone who
followed his orders and everyone who gave him orders.
I only feel sorry that he was already prosecuted and executed.
Death to tyrants.
D.C. is utterly corrupt and filled to the brim with TRAITORS.

more Polar Bear food
can we add some politicians to the list?
that is 2 more than we've been told!!
why not build some underwater??
or in Alaska to help Polar Bears??
after all, the Polar Bear will be able to catch the people in the EVs that can't run in the cold for food, saving the Polar Bears from starving
a Win-Win
