The actual reason people are saying this is that sales of Teslas are going down. So that must mean that the sales of all EVs are going down, right?raison de arizona wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 2:45 pm https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1806372061289296115CSPAN @cspan wrote: Electric exchange between @SecretaryPete and @RepScottPerry: "Given time is limited, I will confine myself to addressing the factually incorrect portions of what you have said, beginning with the assertion that EV sales are going down.

Buttigieg: Even if all of that electricity came from fossil sources, it would still be cleaner because EVs are more efficient
Westerman: I think you need to go back and look at physics
Buttigieg: Ok, the physics are EVs are 90% more efficient…

Thank you @GovernorGordon & the State of Wyoming for working 24/7 to reopen this vital roadway.
Special thanks to @IdahoITD, @IdahoOEM & @IdahoCommerce for helping our neighboring state & keeping surrounding Idaho counties safe.

It's not only an emergency funding but also an emergency quick-and-dirty solution. The backfilling of the existing dam upside of the curve in the ravine will need to be revisited. The opinion of an engineer I have seen is very critical of the fact, that they did not make an investigation and determine why the dam slipped away, a job that would have taken three months. Work on the road started near immediatly. From the images I would expect the whole contraption to slide away with the next big rainfall. The dam does not seem to have any foundation into the bedrock, nor dewatering capabilities. I have not seen how the waters in the ravine can pass under the dam (though that passage may now have been closed over by the slip).
ETA. may not be a ravine but a small saddle between to mountain slopes.

In a 1-on-1 interview while in North Carolina, I asked @SecretaryPete about President Joe Biden's age and ability to do his job, along with GOP calls for the 25th Amendment to be invoked.
“You know, the president, the boss, that I work for is a focused and disciplined leader and you can tell from the results that we’ve gotten," Buttigieg told me.
On the Biden he sees in private: “Look, when I’m in a room with him, it’s a lot like what America saw on the night of the State of the Union address."
On 25th Amendment calls: “It’s just more crazy partisan politics."
Watch our full exchange:
