The Biden administration is sending $900 million in rebates to 530 school districts across the country to replace diesel buses with electric school buses. The administration says the rebates will help buy more than 3,400 such buses, 92% of which will be electric. It's something the Environmental Protection Agency claims will combat asthma and speed up the move to zero emission vehicles. So far, the EPA has awarded close to $3 billion for 8,500 school bus replacements.
