Plug In America THANKS YOU for the mountain of messages you have sent to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Gov. Schwarzenegger, urging both to save the electric car. The Governor's office has been deluged with faxes from every state in the nation and 20 countries abroad. One missive came from a city in Austria just an hour's drive from Schwarzenegger's home town. We can only hope that one day sooner than later, he'll make that kind of drive in his Tesla.
Meanwhile, PIA's CARB campaign has been receiving valuable media coverage. So far, our board members have been interviewed by the San Jose Mercury News, Forbes, Mother Jones and Edmunds.com, as well as several radio stations and local papers. Among the key points we keep making: our state leadership now knows that consumers from Maine to Hawaii want electric cars and they want them now, thanks to you. Many of us will be delivering personal testimony before CARB votes to revise its Zero Emission Vehicle Program on Thursday and your support will be part of our message.
If you haven't had the chance to contact the Governor or CARB, please click here and join the rally. There are still two days left to make our voices heard!
We'll be back in touch with news from Sacramento.
Again, Click here to send a message to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
