An electric bus company touted by President Joe Biden that is now filing for bankruptcy is only the latest in a string of green energy failures that were championed by Biden during his tenure as president and vice president, showing that no matter where he sits in the White House, the energy isn't greener on the other side.

California-based Proterra, the electric bus company, filed for bankruptcy on Monday, citing market "headwinds" as the cause of its financial woes.
