Liberal social engineers adore both electric vehicles and public transportation. Meanwhile, as we have seen before, an electric bus just burst into flames:

An electric CTtransit bus caught on fire at the bus depot in Hamden [Connecticut] on Saturday morning.

Although it is not known for sure what caused the fire…

…fire officials said it’s typically difficult to put out fires caused by lithium-ion batteries “due to the thermal chemical process that produces great heat and continually reignites.”

One day earlier,

Governor Ned Lamont (CT-D) announced a new State Law that requires Connecticut to transfer all State vehicles to electrical power.

On Friday, Governor Lamont joined state agency officials, legislators, and environmental stakeholders on the New Haven Green to highlight the enactment of Public Act 22-25.

Lamont’s office quacks that this will improve “health outcomes for Connecticut residents, and help to mitigate impacts from the climate crisis.” Tell that to the firefighter and two bus workers were taken to the hospital after the electric bus burst into flames in Hamden.

As for the “climate crisis,” it comes around every year and is cured by autumn, not government.

Let’s hope that Connecticut’s pricey and environmentally harmful electric buses are not paid for with federal funds, as in nearby Massachusetts.
