Colorado Governor Jared Polis has released a statement applauding recent positive moves by major automobile companies in regards to electric-powered vehicles.

Polis had this to say:

“I’m thrilled to see the major players in the auto industry withdraw their support for suing states like ours that are implementing stronger clean car standards.  We are also encouraged to see the auto industry come to the table with a willingness to support stronger year over year improvements to fuel economy and Greenhouse Gas emissions than the rules adopted by the previous administration,” said Governor Polis. “Moving forward, we are focused on achieving large scale electrification, which is what is required to meet the climate crisis we face.  With most of the real-world manufacturing decisions for the next few years already made, we  encourage all parties to put the fighting of the past behind us and chart a new path to successfully electrify the light duty fleet as soon as possible.”
