(Le Mars) — A lot of interest has been placed on moving away from combustible engines powered by petroleum fuels such as gasoline and diesel fuel, and instead going to what is perceived as a more environmentally friendly vehicle powered by electricity. U-S Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra says there are several drawbacks to electrical powered vehicles that are not being discussed.
Feenstra says the Biden Administration is pushing more for a “Green Energy” bill that is tied with the proposed infrastructure bill. Feenstra says President Biden’s proposals are costly.
Feenstra commented further on the proposed spending bills.
