Please join us Jan. 20 for a 30-minute webinar to discuss plug-in hybrid strategies that will benefit the environment, consumers and the economy. Click here to register.

Please join us on January 20th at 10:00 a.m. for a special webinar briefing featuring ELPC Executive Director Howard Learner and Policy Advocate Madeleine Weil about how strategies for locations and time-of charging are necessary to make plug-in hybrid vehicles a key part of the solution to global warming pollution problems.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles are next-generation clean cars that run primarily on electricity. Smart strategies focus on tapping into low-carbon and low-cost electricity supplies to charge these cars in order to reduce global warming pollution and dependence on foreign oil. Northern Illinois is one of the best potential markets for plug-in hybrids, and ELPC is focusing on coalition building and strategies to create centers for these clean cars and green jobs of the future.
