Does that include high-speed rail projects?
Per the article, it's
So might well include HSR if any of the planning documents talk about reducing emissions.
You would think they would not touch EV infrastructure with Elon running everything
They're selectively touching the non-Tesla chargers
That would be a weird looking memo/order
It is weird, but not really out of the ordinary for kleptocracies.
It's not going to be written out as "only Tesla gets this money", more like "grant for charger infrastructure that requires applicants to have at least four EV models on the market, one of which must look like a dumpster, you have 12 hours to apply with 300 pages of required documentation".
Ah, yep that's an approach
I see you’ve been paying attention
Just grew up in it, all the best from Hungary
A huge amount of highway funding is tied to "alternative mode choice" - specifically bike infrastructure. If they revoke these grants, state DOTs and municipalities are going to have to cancel a lot of road paving projects that include bike lanes.
