In This Episode...
I speak with Dr. Lisa Benjamin, Associate Professor of Law at Lewis and Clark Law School, about the benefits of Electronic Vehicles. Dr. Benjamin takes an honest look at the benefits and burdens of driving an EV (BTW, the benefits far outweigh the burdens) and explores the many consequences of continuing our dependence on fossil fuels. You can read about her thesis in her article, EVs as EJ? published in Harvard Environmental Law Review.
