California Requires New City Buses to Be Electric by 2029

If the CARB mandate is met with four years - 2023 - one in four new city busses bought in California will be electric powered. By 2029, all new busses will be electric. It's an aggressive mandate, maybe not fully reachable but it will certainly incentivize public transit authorities to invest in the substations, charging equipment and electric maintenance equipment to make an all electric bus fleet possible.

Bush’s Clean Air Act is a brilliant legacy

"George H.W. Bush never visited the Adirondacks as president, as far as we know, but perhaps no other president had as much of a positive impact on the Adirondack Park, from the White House."

"Theodore Roosevelt comes to mind, of course. As New York’s governor, he helped shape the park in its early days, but once he became president, his great conservation work was on a national scale — albeit inspired by his love of the protected Adirondacks."

"But the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990, which Bush pushed through Congress, reversed the course of acid rain and thus saved the woods and waters of the Adirondacks, and beyond. As sweeping as that sounds, it’s no exaggeration."
