Today the Portland Tribune published an opinion piece written by CUB and several of our environmental partners. In the piece, “Oregon’s Renewable Energy Guides State to Prosperity: Policies Plug into Electric Vehicle Future”, we emphasize the importance of creating intelligent policies on electric vehicles, in order to maximize the environmental benefits of this exciting technology and address consumers’ concerns and needs. We broadly describe several key policies, supporting renewable energy integration and consumer interests, and emphasize the need for public engagement.
As an AmeriCorps member, I have been working on education and outreach around electric vehicles with a focus on engaging public interest stakeholders. It was an honor to see the groups that I have been working with present a strong case for the thoughtful deployment of electric vehicles in our state, and to see that vision published in the Tribune.
