Below is a lightly edited transcript of Patrick Larsen's conversation with Sarah Vogelsong
Democrats continued pushing a wide range of environmental and energy policies, after passing the Clean Economy Act last year. That puts Virginia on a path to carbon neutrality by 2045.
Among other things, lawmakers tried to make electric vehicles more accessible, reign in major electric utilities, and institute new waste disposal programs - with mixed success.
Joining me virtually today is Sarah Vogelsong, environment and energy reporter at the Virginia Mercury. Hi Sarah.
Sarah Vogelsong: Hi Patrick, glad to be here.
PL: So, Democrats and environmental groups spent a lot of time this session working on an electric vehicle program. What was the approach they took, and can we expect to see more EVs hitting the road soon?
