The new guide must cover progress in clean transport and clean energy – daily independent

By Kevin Hartke and Diane E. Brown

With the new leadership and recently selected employees to sworn in federal, state and local level, new opportunities are coming. However, as innovative policies and approaches are discussed, it is important to upgrade at the same time successful, impactful and popular programs that are already underway or underway.

While each of us probably has different opinions regarding the legislator of the federal bilateral infrastructure and the Law on Decrease of Inflation, we must be able to agree that the financial support coming to Arizona against going to another country for referring clean transport and clean energy, has been useful for our citizens, businesses and economics and must remain intact.

According to the clean school buses, nearly 200 electric school buses were carried out for school districts in our country, including Chandler, Laven, Grande Casa, Clarkdale-Gurom and the regions of Someton and Yuma. Although the purchase price is higher than diesel buses, electric buses save tens of thousands of dollars for school neighborhoods – and therefore taxpayers – throughout their lives because of the lower costs of maintenance and operation. In addition, electric buses are better for air quality and public health, which in turn helps to mitigate federal sanctions for not complying with air quality standards and reducing the contributing factors for asthmatic attacks and other respiratory diseases S

Saving costs, air quality and public health benefits also exist for electrically over the gas fleet and individual vehicles. And as more and more Arizona drivers are buying an electric vehicle, the aforementioned benefits, combined with the employment opportunities for the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, are expected to lead to favorable economic profits in the municipalities in our country.

Due to the financial support provided by the Infrastructure Program for charging and fuel, the tribal council of San Carlos Apache, Kohis County, Maricopa County and the city of Mesa are already on the road.

As important as it is enough to have sufficient capabilities for charging in local communities, the National Electric vehicle infrastructure program seeks to ensure the possibility of charging along with alternative fuel corridors. The work of the Arizona Ministry in this area is commendable with the latest recruiting networks in our country, including quartz to San Louis, Bisby to Douglas, and links to Wicanburg, show Low, BullHead City and Four Corners.

Arizona and Arizoni have and must continue to be able to take advantage of clean transport and clean energy policy, led by federal, state and local leaders on both sides of the political path. Energy suppliers throughout the country believe that they will have to double their energy production in the not so far future. In order for the pure, renewable energy to be expanding and a significant part of this portfolio, political leaders will have to continue to work with communal services, private sector and advocacy organizations.

We look forward to continuing to participate in the development of pure transport programs and clean energy programs on common sense and pure energy programs.
