“To me, the bus is bad,” says 10-year-old Michael, who lives with his grandfather, a retired combat medic. “What would happen if every single bus ran on electricity? It would power out. Our national grid is already stretching out so much now that we have phones. I know too much for my age.”
His grandfather never turns off Newsmax/OANN, guaranteed. Poor kid.

Is she by any chance a frog? I heard they don’t notice when they’re slowly boiling to death.
Electric school buses require a fraction of the maintenance costs of traditional diesel buses. Forget extra funding… That fact alone makes them worth it for every school district.
