CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A new bill moving forward in the Virginia General Assembly is working to battle climate change, and it has lots of support across the Commonwealth, including in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
Several cities and counties in Virginia, representing over a million residents, have signed a letter from the Community Climate Collaborative urging the passing of HB1965.
The bill would require a small percentage of each car manufacturerâs sales be electric or hybrid vehicles. Advocates say that small percentage would have a large impact.
