Comment Re:The Trump regime illegally withheld funding (Score 2, Insightful) 71

That's the point - we were shutting down old polluting plants that were costing us billions in extra health care costs and replacing them with renewable sources, but then Trump decided that windmills don't help his donors enough so shut down those. The only scam here is the billions being diverted from legitimate programs into Trump's secret police force

Comment Re:The acid test (Score 2) 265

What a bizarre scenario. Outside remote areas that may have trouble sourcing fuel, I would imagine tractors aren't the first vehicles to go electric. Over time I could see prices going down, maybe swappable batteries for farm equipment and then you'd be asking "Can you imagine the cost of vegetables if every farmer has to purchase hundreds of gallons of fuel for every run instead of using free solar?"

Regardless, that's a strawman. The big push is for consumer EVs for which the use case and range is very reasonable.
