Infrastructure bill

Part of the new infrastructure bill includes electric school buses. Here in MN the electric power comes, 29% renewable's, 26% nuclear, 25% coal and 20% natural gas. This means that every other time you charge up the bus it will be from power produced by fossil fuels. Buses in LA county and garbage trucks around the country are running on natural gas and MN could easily do that and it would be done right away. If they started building thorium nuke plants these buses could run carbon free with no air pollution without contaminating the ground water in China. It will take years before the changes in this bill are implemented or if it is like the last infrastructure bill may never be implemented.
