Ithaca FD wants all electric Firetrucks

Since they are somewhat rural it seemed like they should wait until they prove themselves a viable option elsewhere!
 
Holy cow. the prices quoted in the article about how much more money the electric vehicles cost and another million dollars to upgrade the electric to be able to charge the thing.
green energy seems a financial boondoggle for a lot of people
 
I also had to laugh about the fact that grant money would be available to pay for the increased costs! Okay, grant monies don't come out of the local pockets but it still comes out of taxpayers pockets someplace. People don't understand that the money has to come from somewhere and the somewhere is always taxpayers pockets!
