Hey jew York, get some balls! You know what you do when a program is a failure? You double down! That's right. Now's not the time to back down! You double your fleet! Show Newsom what you're made of!
Omfg. I thought electric buses in Jackson hole WY was fucking retarded. This is a whole new level of brain dead. At least it's cancelled.
All anyone ever needed to do was look at the overtime those plow operators make when a big dumping of snow happens. They run their equipment for 18-20 hours straight in order to dig us out. The only way that happens is if they can quickly refuel when needed and get back to it, without stopping for fucking hours to charge something that has diminishing run time in cold weather. Not to mention heating the cab for the operator, which is quite taxing a battery, but hardly makes a dent in fuel usage for an internal combustion engine.
A friend of mine used to be a driver for PENNDOT. He would have trucks on the road 24/7 when it got bad out.
I was trying to draw less attention to their run times but downplaying the numbers a bit. They love the overtime, we love the clean streets, so let's just go back to not talking about it so we don't screw it up for everyone.
I don't think they are in any danger of losing that OT. I'd rather see salt trucks out running than I would some of the other shit gubbmint does.
