The lame-duck Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is moving to spend $735 million on green heavy-duty vehicles, including hundreds of millions on green school buses, in its final days. [emphasis, links added]
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be carrying out the spending deluge to help purchase more than 2,400 zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles with funding coming from President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the agency announced.
About 70% of the cash will be used to further the adoption of green school buses, and the Biden EPA is moving to shovel money out the door to fund its favored programs ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s official return to power in January.
