The faddist bureaucratic elite is calling stridently for an end to fossil. They don't give an eff about your emission controls temporizing. In the interim reality in the bus world that translates to hybrid until the real thing comes along. So if you want doodlebugs in LaLa you should be thinking diesel electric. That should buy a little time. And of course SMART's supplier has left the US business.

Picture Biden as Prez and bird-dogged bad by his left about carbon. For y'all that like the smell of diesel in the morning the return of Kumbaya will indeed emerge as your own personal "...vast evil...conspiracy...".
