Chapters

A listener asks about the effectiveness of Biden's infrastructure bill in building EV charging stations. Blake reveals that only seven stations have been built in two years despite billions allocated. The conversation then shifts to the broader inefficiencies of government infrastructure projects, using California's high-speed rail as another example.
  • Only seven EV charging stations operational after two years and $7.5 billion investment.
  • California's high-speed rail project, estimated at $25 billion, is unlikely to be completed.
  • Government infrastructure projects often suffer from delays and cost overruns.
