"Automobiles and automakers have a storied place in American history: Vehicles
have played a huge part in making every aspect of our lives easier, from
alleviating transportation woes to building the supply chains businesses rely
on today.
But the climate crisis is shifting both industry and consumer needs. The
electric vehicle (EV) revolution has been exemplified by Tesla, which has
become a high-end household name. They’re currently the only U.S. automaker
producing EV’s on a large scale, and they remain financially out of reach for
many: Tesla’s range of vehicles runs from about $40,000 to $119,000.
Yet there is an urgent need to make clean transportation equitable and widely
accessible. Transportation is the number one source of carbon emissions in the
U.S., which is why Dream Corps’ Green For All, a national non-profit program,
has made it a key pillar of its advocacy. Green For All works to bring unlikely
allies together to advance green energy solutions, such as reducing pollution
with an eye toward equity. Their current campaign focuses on how combating
inequality is crucial to effective climate solutions."
