"There can be little doubt that [Texans] are suffering from the destructive effects of climate-change policies. Republicans should require the Biden administration to demonstrate the cure is less harmful than the disease. Texas is a warning."

Don DeJoy, the Postmaster General, needs another $4 billion for Biden’s EV mandate. Otherwise, fuhgeddaboudit.


Fox Business (2/25/2021) reports: "President Biden's plan to fully electrify the 645,000-vehicle U.S. government fleet may have hit a big bump in the road.U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told the House Oversight and Reform Committee on  Wednesday that the agency only expects 10% of the Next Generation Delivery Vehicles to be delivered by Oshkosh Defense under a multibillion contract awarded on Tuesday will be electric. When asked why it couldn't do 90%, DeJoy said 'we don’t have the 3 or 4 extra billion in our plan right now that it would take to do it.' The contract currently calls for the purchase of 50,000 to 165,000 vehicles over the next decade at a cost of up to $6.3 billion. The U.S. Postal Service chose the Oshkosh Defense vehicle, which can be equipped with either an internal combustion or electric powertrain, over a hybrid from the team of Morgan Olson and Karsan and also an all-electric proposal from Workhorse Group. Workhorse Group stock plummeted by half on the news and the Ohio-based company told Reuters it 'intends to explore all avenues that are available to non-awarded finalists in a government bidding process.'"

Answer my question.

We knew Joe was a yes. The question is, what will Hick do?


Politico (2/24/21) reports: "Senate Energy Chair Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on Wednesday he supported the nomination of Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) to lead the Interior Department, delivering a crucial boost for the New Mexico lawmaker to be the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary. 'While we do not agree on every issue, she reaffirmed her strong commitment to bipartisanship, addressing the diverse needs of our country and maintaining our nation’s energy independence,' he said in a statement. 'I believe Deb Haaland will be a Secretary of the Interior for every American and will vote to confirm her.'...Haaland avoided major mistakes during her hearing, even as GOP senators criticized her prior comments opposing fracking, fossil fuels and pipeline projects. Under questioning from Manchin, Haaland, one of the most progressive members of Congress, said she supported U.S. energy independence and acknowledged the country would 'absolutely rely on the fossil energy' for the foreseeable future."
