White House Looks to Bolster Electric Vehicles

摘要

The White House announced new steps to bolster the deployment of electric vehicles Thursday, part of the Obama administration's effort to curb the use of fossil fuels across the economy before he leaves office in January. Policymakers and industry are increasingly focused on the transportation sector, where climate-driven energy policy is concerned. Emissions from the power sector have fallen as utilities switch to natural gas from coal, and the transportation sector now makes up the greatest portion of greenhouse gas emissions in the US.
