The US government is awarding $1.7 billion to buy electric and low-emission buses

The U.S. Department of Transportation is awarding $1.7 billion in grants for buying zero- and low-emission buses WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Department of Transportation is awarding almost $1.7 billion in grants for buying zero- and low-emission buses, with the money going to transit projects in 46 states and territories. The grants will enable transit agencies and state and local governments to buy 1,700 U.S.-built buses, nearly half of which will have zero carbon emissions. Funding for the grants comes from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure bill signed into law by President Joe Biden. The Democratic president has made it a priority to put more electric vehicles on the road — especially for schools and public transit — in an effort to contain the damage from climate change. “Every day, millions of Americans climb aboard over 60,000 buses to get to work, to school, doctor’s appointments, everywhere they need to be,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a call w...

Stock market today: Asia sinks after a survey shows China's industrial activity is weakening

Asian stock markets are lower after a survey showed Chinese industrial activity weakening BEIJING -- Asian stock markets sank Wednesday after a measure of Chinese service industry activity fell to its lowest level this year. Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney retreated. Oil prices were mixed. U.S. markets were closed Tuesday for a holiday. A service industry index by a leading Chinese business magazine, Caixin, weakened sharply in June, adding to signs China's recovery following the end of anti-virus controls is cooling. Growth in factory activity also slowed. “Without policy support, there’s a risk that weakening growth expectations could become self-fulfilling,” said Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management in a report. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.6% to 3,225.68 and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong sank 1.4% to 19,147.37. Caixin's purchasing managers' index for services fell to 53.9 from May's 57.1 on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 show activity i...

Musk says he can't get fair trial in California, wants Texas

Elon Musk doesn't think he can get a fair trial in San Francisco WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk has urged a federal judge to shift a trial in a shareholder lawsuit out of San Francisco because he says negative local media coverage has biased potential jurors against him. Instead, in a filing submitted late Friday, Musk's lawyers argue that the trial should be moved to a federal court in western Texas, which includes the state capital of Austin. Musk relocated his electric car company, Tesla, to Austin in late 2021. If a move isn't possible, Musk's lawyers urged that the trial , scheduled to begin Jan. 17, be postponed until negative publicity around Musk's purchase of Twitter has died down. “For the last several months, the local media have saturated this district with biased and negative stories about Mr. Musk,” attorney Alex Spiro wrote in a court filing. Those items have personally blamed Musk for recent layoffs at Twitter, Spiro wrote, and have ...
