Your Voice: Green Investments

04/07/09
 
We want to know, do you think now is a good time to invest in green energy efforts? (i.e. wind power, electric car stations).
 
Plans are underway for a wind power facility in Crook County and the Oregon governor is trying to pitch the state as the nation's all-electric vehicle hub.  He test drove an electric car.  He believes green technology is the future of Oregon's economy and environment.
 
Nissan plans to bring all-electric vehicles to Oregon in late 2010. The state will be one of the nation's first markets.  A Norway baswed company is also searching for an electric car manufacturing plant location in the U.S.
