    pretty sure this link should work for everyone

    Why the government built only 58 EV charging stations in three years

    The EV fiasco should be a jolt to progressives’ senses.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...0.DAD-1SBm5JbKMahz_hsCt8edMP_gk8Axbzs-k5vZQZM

    excerpt:

    The EV charging station tale marks what amounts to a “Wizard of Oz” moment for progressives. They want to prevent abuse and use government to serve the greater good. But as its snail-like rollout demonstrates, government today is more like the man behind the curtain than the great and powerful Oz. Progressives need to figure out how they will address the overcorrections of the past several decades and, in so doing, make government work again.

    Insightful article.

    Another holdup is that (VW owned) Electrify America chargers are ass and break often. Bureaucracy kicked in to force better standards for charging statioms.

    this happened in Apr 2024; the investment is backed by the CHIP Act signed into law by Bidenomic
    at the time, the response from the GOP and MAGA was that it was another wasteful spending by Bidenomics

    After Biden had left office, in Feb 2025, Trump 2.0's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told lawmakers the program (CHIP Act) was "an excellent down payment" to rebuild the sector,
    paving the way for Trump's dog n pony show at the White House today

    unknowingly, the 78-yr old convicted felon is reaping the benefits, as well as promoting, the success of Bidenomics


    Trump, TSMC CEO to announce new $100 billion US investment plans



    At the White House, Trump and TSMC announced plans on Monday for a four-year, $100 billion investment in the United States in Arizona

    The $100 billion commitment by TSMC, which would boost domestic production and make the United States less reliant on semiconductors made in Asia, is
    in addition to a major prior investment announcement during Bidenomics. in April 2024, TSMC agreed to expand its planned U.S. investment by $25 billion to $65 billion
    and to add a third Arizona factory by 2030.​
