With the big push for Electric Vehicles in 2010, what incentives are we willing to provide for this new industry cluster?  Many players in the eletric vehicle industry are looking to the state of Oregon to see how this plays out.  If the people of the Pacific Northwest aren't able to change the way we transport goods, services and our selves, we may never be able to overcome man made climate change / global warming.  This is our opportunity to change the world and we need every tool possiable in our toolbox.  This is an investment in Oregon and our future.
