Editorial: Transition to electric school buses to ease panic at N.C. pumps
Thursday, May 20, 2021 -- Rather than waiting for the next crisis or panic, Gov. Roy Cooper, Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt and state legislative leaders should be working with electric utilities, local school systems and others to transition state school bus fleets completely to electrified vehicles. Do this now, so that if, and when there is the next gasoline panic or pipeline disruption it won't stop kids from getting to school for their lessons, not to mention also saving taxpayers' money.
