Electric vehicles and the electrification of transportation offer tremendous benefits to all Nevadans, according to organizers of a workshop Thursday at the UNR Innevation Center. Transportation powered by electricity greatly reduces air pollution, provides substantial economic benefits to Nevada, and improves our nation’s security. The forum starts Feb. 22 with registration and lunch at 11:30 a.m. Nevada State Senator Patricia Spearman presents the keynote address, “Energy and National Security,” as part of the lunch program.
