Initially, the idea of utilizing solar energy to generate electricity was an arguable idea that people expressed their difference in opinions. Early adopters and those motivated by change readily started thinking about the new technology and how it would shape the energy industry. On the other hand, some people were pessimistic about this idea concluding […]
Lawmakers are hearing a popular song from the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association (VADA) for the 2021 General Assembly session in Virginia beginning this week: they “fully support” the introduction of electric vehicles (EV), maybe not this year. “Last year, VADA was strong and vocal that “thanks to our [VADA’s] initiatives” pro-EV legislation was rejected. There are […]
