Consultants say "$50 billion would be needed to grow the US charging network to meet the demand within the next decade." Seems to assume those must somehow be federal $, but it's a sum private businesses are perfectly capable of paying.

Here's a piece on the need to repair our broken charger system with federal money. It seems … incompletely convincing! It opens by noting we don't need as many charger stations as gas stations (because people charge at home). Never quite recovers. https://t.co/7ogla8z9Ih https://t.co/8B0zGBNYsW

There are local subsidies for chargers — here's L.A.'s program, which seems to have run out of funding for this year for auto chargers. https://t.co/fsLZX8HLiv Again, if local subsidies + private outlays are working why do we need a $15B federal program? https://t.co/4BHBYejmMF https://t.co/l9cD4rGGcY

If they lose they just get in the long multi-year line to see a judge, as before, and they get to stay in the country, as before. So the big innovation is that lots of migrants would get an Instant Yes, but nobody actually gets an Instant No. That has to attract more migrants 2/2

This would not be asylum officers granting "credible fear" (which allows them to pursue an asylum case, which they usually lose). This would be asylum officers granting them actual asylum, as I understand it. (They win their case!) But if they lose they don't lose their case 1/2 https://t.co/FT8forFK7G

Well if they say "yes" they are going to get an even bigger flood of migrants, which might not serve Dems well in the midterms. There are some signs (eg refugee cap waver) that Biden, if nobody else, is sensitive to the politics. … https://t.co/YBk9Tx37da
