One billion dollars is available in rebates for clean propane powered school buses.
Tom and Rand talk and the latest round of funding from the EPA for Clean Propane powered school buses. Contact your local school district transportation manager and let them know how to get $35,000 rebate per school bus.
This is not a grant program. Rebates have less red tape and are easier to get.

Zions National Park has recently made a transition from propane to coal.
Following a $33 million taxpayer-funded investment after 25 years of clean and affordable transportation powered by propane. A study from NREL suggests that this transition in Utah could result in 30% more emissions compared to the old propane buses. However, there is optimism for the future, aiming to power these electric buses with clean electricity….
The key questions that arise are whether these new electric buses will match the longevity of the propane fleet and if Utah can achieve cleaner electricity surpassing the efficiency of propane. With $33 million, one wonders how many new ultra-clean propane buses could have been purchased? Time will be the ultimate revealer of the outcomes. I wonder if park management has the intuition to retaining the old, reliable propane fleet to address EV challenges and ensure a seamless experience for visitors exploring the wonders of Zions National Park.
What do you think a 25 year old electric buss would look like compared to a 25 year old propane bus? -

The Quest for an Energy “Holy Grail”
Utah's power plant will tap into the federal government's 9.5 billion dollars in tax credits for hydrogen production. The power plant claims it will make 100,000 KG of hydrogen per month. This would allow them $300,000 per day in tax credits for making hydrogen from electricity and then burning it to make electricity again.
Making 1 kg of hydrogen from electricity requires 49KWH of electricity.
1 kg of hydrogen makes 40KWH of electricity. Loosing 9 KWH each time the cycle is completed. The largest Energy Boondoggle in history
