Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) is removing all EV chargers from federal properties, citing that they are “not mission-critical.”
The move aligns with Trump’s broader rollback of green energy initiatives, including efforts to override California’s EV mandates.
The GSA will also phase out electric vehicles purchased under the Biden administration. Critics see this as part of a broader GOP effort against clean energy.
The decision comes as Trump also pauses $3 billion in public EV charger funding.
Why even remove them? Sell or lease them to a company that maintains them.
Malicious, vindictive bullshit. That’s what this is.
Also a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Better get DOGE on it!!! 🥴
Same reason why Reagan ripped the White House’s solar panels out that Carter had installed.
The GOP is a party of hate and spite to disguise stealing money to give to the wealthy.
Here’s the thing very few liberals will understand: Republicans do this performative dance to waste government money and remove things like EV chargers and solar panels because, and I cannot emphasize this enough…
it appeases and even excites their base.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Doing shit like this shows their base that their team is in charge. That’s it. They could have let them stay in and their base wouldn’t have been the wiser. But doing it shows them that their team won.
Liberals don’t have a similar signal. Hell, I didn’t even know the GSA installed them. Not only that but liberals don’t care as much to “win” like this.
We just want to survive whereas conservatives want to oppress.
That’s the difference.
I mean it’s just easier to call the fuckers Nazis, because they are Nazis
Regan is a monster, that was at least while the roof was being resurfaced and they just didn’t put them back. They were just water heaters anyway, not photovoltaics.
This is solely spending more money to remove freshly installed government equipment for no reason.
How else will they blame the next administration of wasting taxpayer’s dollars by reinstalling them back again?
