It all started with President Barack Obama and as DEED begins, we’re taking the opportunity to briefly revisit the tale, with a related nod to the mother of climate change policy, as former Sen. Gavin Newsom (then San Francisco’s mayor), Washington Gov. But how did NDEW come about? Fran Pavley is well known.

Now, the Washington Post reports that it had sources in a meeting between Trump and oil executives in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club last month. The former president reportedly specifically mention rolling back policies on electric vehicles and wind energy. I don’t believe the biggest changes come from politics.

Wind, hydro, DC transmission lines, and smart grid electronics are also Portland strengths. Many EV groups online for more info or google EV clubs or EV racing and follow the website’s links. How will the pressures of climate change, limited fossil fuel resources and the mainstreaming of "green" consciousness reshape society?

I pulled an old issue of Sierra (the magazine of the Sierra Club) from July/August 1997. The USA got the leap on everyone else with solar, wind and other fossil free energy as well as electric cars and other alternative fuel vehicles. There was a nice selection of books, especially guides to the flora and fauna of the High Sierras.
