In connection with a hearing today with the House Committee on Energy & Commerce’s Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change on moving away from petroleum-based fuels in the transportation sector, Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE) submitted a letter for the hearing record that outlined the economic and national security need for reducing our dependence on oil.
In the letter, submitted as part of the Subcommittee’s hearing, “Building a 100 Percent Clean Economy: Solutions for Planes, Trains and Everything Beyond Automobiles,” SAFE President and CEO Robbie Diamond stated that electric vehicles (EVs) “present one of the greatest opportunities to dramatically reduce our nation’s oil dependence.”
