Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:01:59 GMT

Last year the California Air Resources Board approved the Advanced Clean Cars II rule, which outlines a roadmap to sustainability in the state by mandating that all new passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs sold in the state will be fully electric vehicles that produce zero carbon emissions. This is one of the many steps the state is taking in the push towards renewable energy sources and reducing carbon emissions.The recent mandate is hailed as the logical next step in the state’s reduction of carbon emissions, but it presents a unique set of new challenges. As more electric vehicles are introduced to the roadways of California it will put a new strain on the energy grid, of which the obvious solution is to utilize solar energy for powering homes and electric vehicles.

Read more Letters to the Editor.Sunol school boardvoted correctly on flagReferring to the articles on the vote of Sunol school board members written on Sept. 14 (“Chaos in Sunol after flag ban,” Page A1) and Sept. 15 (“Guaging recall amid Pride flag ban vote,” Page B1), LGBTQ is a group of people who want to be recognized and accepted for who they are.
