Hi GEP, Daniel Aldana Cohen and I are in the NYTimes today.
*Biden Left Us With a ‘Prius Economy.’ It’s Time for Something Different. <https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/opinion/electric-vehicles-tax-credits.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare>* *In the long run, the Inflation Reduction Act’s investments in greener infrastructure and new technologies could help. But these will take years to bear fruit and may not affect the cost of living. This is why we must replace the Prius economy with one focused on affordable green housing, higher wages, cheap clean energy, lower commuting costs and expanded mass transit. States, cities and towns can get the ball rolling.* Read the rest at the link above :-) Warmly, and happy new year to all, Thea -- Thea Riofrancos (she/her) http://www.theariofrancos.com/ Associate Professor of Political Science, Providence College Strategic Co-Director, Climate and Community Institute <https://www.climateandcommunity.org/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
