JUST IN / Biden Admin Caught in SHOCKING Scandal

Biden Admin Grants $160M to Canadian Firm for 435 Electric School Buses Under EPA Program.

Not a SINGLE Bus was delivered, and the company just declared bankruptcy!

Top Biden EV Bus Maker Nears Bankruptcy, Leaving School Districts and Tens of Millions of Taxpayer Dollars in Limbo

EPA administrator Lee Zeldin tells the Free Beacon he is ‘committed to delivering’ answers on green spending

The Biden administration awarded Canadian electric bus company Lion Electric nearly $160 million to manufacture hundreds of battery-powered buses for school districts nationwide as part of its sweeping climate agenda. In recent weeks, Lion has initiated bankruptcy proceedings, laid off all employeestasked with building its buses, and paused manufacturing operations.

Lion’s financial demise leaves dozens of school districts—including those in California, Montana, North Dakota, Iowa, Alabama, and Maryland—questioning whether they will receive the buses the Biden administration promised them. Lion has yet to deliver $95 million worth of electric buses to 55 districts across the country, according to federal data reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

“At this time we are working through the proper channels and keeping our attorneys abreast of the situation,” Dawn Wallace, the superintendent of Ohio Valley School District in Adams County, Ohio, which ordered buses from Lion, told the Free Beacon. “No buses have been delivered to our district. We are on hold.”

“The district has been in contact with both Lion Electric and the EPA to gather details on the situation and explore available options moving forward,” added Jason Stabler, the superintendent of Bureau Valley School District in Manlius, Illinois, another district promised buses.

The situation puts a renewed spotlight on the Biden administration’s behemoth climate programs, raising questions about whether the recipients of billions of dollars in green spending were properly vetted—or whether federal officials looked the other way when doling out funds to Lion, which had financially struggled for years.

It also underscores a familiar dynamic surrounding such programs—green energy companies like Lion are dependent on government funding and often faileven after winning lucrative government contracts. In the case of electric school buses, 67 percent of the planned electric school buses in the United States have been funded by the federal government, according to an analysis conducted by the World Resources Institute.
