Go Green Radio

On this week’s Go Green Radio, Michael Kraft, Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin, will discuss his recent OpEd entitled, “Republicans must embrace clean energy for their future.” During the midterm elections, most political observers expect unemployment rates and the war to dominate the airwaves, but how is the electrification of American light transportation related to those topics? We will discuss the effects that federal subsidies for electric cars could have on our national security and global competitive edge for the technologies that will fuel the economy of the 21st century. What is at stake if the U.S. continues to trail China, Japan and Korea in developing lithium ion battery technology? If Republicans take control of Congress in the fall, what are the ramifications if they move to repeal subsidies for electric vehicles? Tune in to this week’s Go Green Radio to learn more!
