Traveling the Electrification Highway
A company that has served U.S. motorists and the trucking industry for decades has updated its business model to support electric vehicle charging and generate electricity for several of its locations.
Power industry analysts say electrification of the U.S. transportation sector is poised for dramatic growth. Automakers are committed to building electric vehicles (EVs), more companies are electrifying their fleets, and the Biden administration has asked lawmakers to support $174 billion worth of vehicle electrification and charging initiatives, along with expanding EV purchase incentives for consumers.

As the calendar turned to 2021 it became official that 2020 concluded the hottest decade on record. Scientists warn that the current decade the 2020s is the most consequential for the future of our planet. Collectively, society failed to make adequate progress reducing heat-trapping emissions over the past three decades, and as a result the 2020s are our last chance to preserve a relatively safe home for us all. (…emphasis on
relatively, given the dramatic impacts that are already inevitable.)

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. -The Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD) was recently awarded $330,000 from the California Energy Commission to replace one of its aging diesel school buses with an electric bus. The new bus arrived in December and has been transporting students daily since then.
The Commission s School Bus Replacement Program offers funds to replace old diesel school buses in disadvantaged and low-income communities throughout California. This program helps schools embrace next-generation zero-emission vehicles and improve children’s health by reducing their exposure to transportation-related air pollution.
“We are thrilled to see further progress made toward the District’s net zero energy goals,” said LTUSD Superintendent Todd Cutler.
