Electric cars are breaking records in California—and demand remains high.

It's not just California; Northeast drivers want electric cars too.

Thanks to strong fuel economy standards, Northeast drivers have cut their climate pollution and saved billions—but without continued leadership, the standards may be in jeopardy.

Tight oil is a major source of global warming emissions. Better regulations—and an industry held accountable for its actions—would help.

Tar sands are an increasingly common—but expensive and dirty—source of oil.

Oil, electricity, and biofuels are all changing in dramatic ways. Whether they become cleaner or dirtier is up to us.

With the right policies and investments, Oregon, Washington, and California can all cut their oil use in half by 2030.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles combine a gasoline or diesel engine with an electric motor and a large rechargeable battery.

Over their lifetime, battery electric vehicles produce far less global warming pollution than their gasoline counterparts—and they’re getting cleaner.

A pioneer in clean transportation, Oregon must continue to make progress cleaning up its transportation system in order to keep more transportation dollars in the local economy and cut global warming pollution.

The climate implications of using oil depend on where it comes from.
