The video below shows feckless, completely unqualified Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg trying to defend the Biden/Harris regime’s spending $8 billion to build just 8 EV charging stations since the passage of the Orwellian Inflation Reduction Act.
So if it’s not penciled out for private industry to be profitable why would the federal government do it? If 80% of charging is done at home are there then a plethora of bev and plug in ev’s at apartment complexes? Where housing is purportedly less expensive than single family homes? And given the huge cost to purchase an ev - thus makes sense? Well let me be the latest of several million to call him an abject idiot.
I believe that the queer meant that they aren't giving the private sector any of the billions of dollars we had been boondoggled out of to millions of small businesses that we assumed was the purpose for creating jobs and stuff.
Chargers/EV catching fire in a single family home is bad. The same catching fire in an apartment complex is horrific. Private sector doesn’t want that risk exposure and rightfully so. The public shouldn’t take that on either.
Is he saying that the $8B mostly hasn't been spent yet? That would be okay. Stop spending all the money allocated to/by the IRA, until Trump gets into office, then don't spend any of it, at all...

Pretzel logic-Pete’s specialty
Where did this clown learn the phrase, "pencil out?" McKinsey?
What did he say exactly? Where is the 7.5 billion today? He’s waiting on the private sector? He gives me a headache.

Well, Mr. Kernen asked "what is really the problem?" and Mayor Pete answered truthfully:
"We're sitting here in 2024" and "a lot of charging apparatus just isn't there."
And today, Mayor Pete is busy playing the role of JD Vance as Walz preps for the debate.
Kamala is hanging out with Oprah. Joe is likely lying on the beach in Rehoboth.
