Many states and communities are working to adapt their infrastructure to carbon free technologies including electric vehicles. A recently released report ranks states on how well they are enabling the use and building infrastructure for EV’s.

A little over a week earlier, as would-be insurrectionists were gathering in Washington, D.C., the outgoing administration finalized a rule rendering the vast majority of public health data off limits to policymakers.
Eleventh-hour executive actions are a hallmark of presidential transitions, and experts see little in the way of lasting impact as President Joe Biden moves from his inauguration on Wednesday into an expected flurry of policy moves from the new White House.
