PG&E Proposes Major Build-Out of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Submitted by aburr on Thu, 2015-02-12 13:31

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) asked state regulators for permission to build an estimated 25,000 EV chargers at sites across its service area in Northern and Central California. If approved, this program would be the largest deployment of EV charging stations in the country. The chargers would be located at commercial and public locations, including multi-family dwellings, retail centers, and workplaces. PG&E proposes to own all of the infrastructure, but contract with third parties to build, install and maintain the chargers and manage customer billing.

Fossil Fuels Firing Back

Submitted by meacott on Wed, 2015-02-11 00:13
The movement to divest from fossil fuels that is being led by some of the nation’s leading universities is misguided and fails to recognize that oil, natural gas and coal have increased living standards around the globe.

February 13-14 has been designated as “Global Divestment Day” to demand that universities and other institutions divest their holdings of fossil fuel companies – oil, natural gas, and coal. This is unrealistic and misguided.
