Conclusion
Quote:
* We see in Oregon the kind of passion and vision that is evident in all the places that are eager for green mobility.
* It’s not just about using electricity as fuel – that has been done since the 1800s.
* This is about reinventing mobility.
o It’s about stretching what we have always known about cars to allow for new ideas and practices.
o It’s about anticipating what future transportation needs will be.
o It’s about taking actions to benefit our environment and our planet.
o Government has a role to play.
o Indeed, governments have a history of advancing major projects to serve a greater public good.
o In this country, the government was a major backer, at least initially, of railroads, interstate highways and the Internet.
o With the interstate system, the cars came first, and the infrastructure followed.
* The same can apply to zero-emission vehicles.
* The auto industry has committed to action.
* Several global automakers have vehicles in development, and we are moving fast.
* Public-private partnerships – such as the one the Alliance now has in Oregon and those will soon follow in other parts of America – show that progress is coming.
* With the right infrastructure and the right economic conditions, we can navigate through this uncharted territory… to put sustainable mobility within our reach in the near future.
