[...] We were encouraged last week by the bipartisan 19-4 vote in the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee for S.3495, The Promoting Electric Vehicles Act of 2010, an evolution of the Electric Vehicle Deployment Act legislation developed by http://www.electrificationcoalition.org . But as of now its provisions have been KO’d (knocked out) of the developing “small energy package” that is replacing any broad action on climate change. Advocates are mobilizing to encourage messages to the Senate Leadership, especially Majority Leader Harry Reid, not to drop these provisions. Making this leadership strategy more questionable is the inclusion of a major push for natural gas for transportation, which we talk about below, followed with pointers for what you can do. More...
