@Tequesta18 @OnlyGolf222 Clean energy is a factor but it’s primarily because of a dependence on natural gas. I wrote about this last winter. The same issues are still in place with the federal government now expecting gas prices to go up even higher. https://t.co/M4PHSqsPZX

Political Scene: In 2023 Rhode Island created a first-of-its-kind lead-safe apartment registry.

RI @GovDanMcKee is proposing a new electric vehicle fee to offset the loss of gas tax collections to battery-powered cars.

But so far gas tax collections are still going up

Do new EV fees risk slowing a technology transition already facing headwinds?
