New Biden EPA rules on truck and bus emissions will only fuel inflation | Eastern North Carolina Now

If Bidenflation was not already bad enough, with the dollar losing an astrounding twenty percent of its value since Biden took office, the Biden regime has doubled down on adding more economic pressures that cause inflration.  Biden's EPA has established draconian emissions rules on freight trucks and buses that will lead to massive increases in the cost of transportation of goods.  That, in turn, raises the cost of almost everything.  Biden's reckless energy policies that have driven up fuel prices are alaready a large part of the inflation consumers are seeing.

The EPA rules will not only lead to more expensive trucks but are inefficient on labor costs for truckdrivers due to more  recharging stops and lost time for those refueling stops.  All of this raises the cost to transport goods.

The Peoples Republic of California is also trying to force electric trucks on the trucking industry and bus companies:

Then there is the element of danger to the public due to the propensity of large lithium batteries to spontaneously combust, burn extremely hot, spew toxic fumes, and be very difficult to extinguish.  London and Paris have both had lithium battery buses spontaneously combust already, but fortunately not while operating on the street filled with passengers.  The quick spread of these fires when they happen is illustrated by the video of a city bus in Paris whose lithium battery spontaneously combusted while parked on a street after completing a route:
