WASHINGTON PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

00:07.333 --> 00:13.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
PLEDGED TO WORLD LEADERS THAT

00:09.000 --> 00:14.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE U.S. WILL CUT THE NATION'S

00:11.166 --> 00:16.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN HALF

00:13.066 --> 00:18.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
BY 2030.

00:14.166 --> 00:21.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
PART OF THAT RELIES ON A

00:16.233 --> 00:22.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

00:18.833 --> 00:26.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AMANDA VINICKY JOINS US WITH

00:21.766 --> 00:29.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
MORE.

00:22.533 --> 00:31.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL PROMISE

00:26.333 --> 00:34.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
BIDEN VIE VIA EXECUTIVE ORDER

00:29.566 --> 00:34.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WANTS THE NATION'S FLEETS LIKE

00:31.333 --> 00:35.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
MAIL TRUCKS TO BE CLEAN AND

00:34.233 --> 00:38.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
GREEN.

00:34.533 --> 00:40.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
IT'S NOT JUST THE WHITE HOUSE

00:35.400 --> 00:41.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THAT IS LOOKING TO REDUCE GAS

00:38.500 --> 00:44.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
GUZZLERS ON THE STREETS AND

00:40.900 --> 00:46.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HIGHWAYS, GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER

00:41.666 --> 00:47.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SIGNING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT

00:44.633 --> 00:51.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
REQUIRES FUTURE STATE LEASING

00:46.066 --> 00:51.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
AND PURCHASING OF VEHICLES BE

00:47.833 --> 00:53.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
FOR LOW OR ZERO EMISSION

00:51.466 --> 00:56.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
VEHICLES.

00:51.833 --> 00:58.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
ELECTRIC CARS ARE NOT THE

00:53.933 --> 00:59.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
DEFAULT YET.

00:56.133 --> 01:01.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> IS IT HAPPENING TODAY?

00:58.833 --> 01:01.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:7.5%
NO.

00:59.366 --> 01:04.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
BUT WE SEE A BETTER

01:01.100 --> 01:06.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
UNDERSTANDING GROWING.

01:01.933 --> 01:08.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WE SEE MORE AND MORE MODELS

01:04.300 --> 01:09.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
INTRODUCED AND WE SEE A LOT OF

01:06.333 --> 01:13.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
POLICIES SUPPORT TO GO LIKE

01:08.700 --> 01:15.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
STATES LIKE MASSACHUSETTS AND

01:09.966 --> 01:16.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
CALIFORNIA BANNED THE SALE OF

01:13.766 --> 01:23.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
ENGINES AFTER 2025.

01:15.333 --> 01:24.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AND GENERAL MOTORS SAY THEY ARE

01:16.966 --> 01:27.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
NOT GOING TO MANUFACTURE ANY

01:23.066 --> 01:28.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
ININTERNAL COUPLE BUGS ENGINES

01:24.600 --> 01:30.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THERE IS A TREND TOWARDS THAT.

01:27.000 --> 01:33.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER, THERE ARE

01:28.800 --> 01:34.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
BUMPS IN THE ROAD.

01:30.100 --> 01:36.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND POLICY

01:33.466 --> 01:38.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
CITY'S SUSAN MADD SAYS SOME OF

01:34.900 --> 01:41.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THAT WILL CLEAR UP AS ELECTRIC

01:36.566 --> 01:43.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
CARS ARE NORMALIZED.

01:38.933 --> 01:45.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> WE'RE ALL USED TO DRIVING TO

01:41.166 --> 01:48.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
GAS STATIONS BUT PEOPLE AREN'T

01:43.866 --> 01:49.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
USED TO THINK ABOUT PLUGGING IN

01:45.900 --> 01:51.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THEIR CAR OVERNIGHT IN THEIR

01:48.300 --> 01:52.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
GARAGE OR IN FRONT OF THEIR

01:49.600 --> 01:55.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
HOUSE OR IN FRONT OF THEIR

01:51.566 --> 01:57.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
APARTMENT BUILDING.

01:52.600 --> 02:00.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
AS MORE OF THESE ARE LITERALLY

01:55.433 --> 02:01.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
SEEN, PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND

01:57.200 --> 02:04.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IT'S NOT REALLY SUCH A HUGE,

02:00.100 --> 02:08.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
HUGE CHANGE.

02:01.966 --> 02:11.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> IT IS A CHANGE, BUT SHE SAYS

02:04.233 --> 02:11.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
A MINOR ONE AND ONE WAY TO CLEAR

02:08.233 --> 02:13.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE COAST FOR THAT, MORE CHARGES

02:11.500 --> 02:14.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
STATIONS.

02:11.866 --> 02:15.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS A PROMISE

02:13.000 --> 02:17.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
THERE.

02:14.100 --> 02:18.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
PROMISING A HALF MILLION

02:15.633 --> 02:22.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
CHARGING STATIONS GOING UP

02:17.033 --> 02:24.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

02:18.433 --> 02:26.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> THIS WILL BOTH ALLOW DRIVERS

02:22.266 --> 02:27.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
TO PLUG IN BUT IT ALSO WILL

02:24.500 --> 02:31.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
RELIEVE ONE OF THE MAJOR

02:26.166 --> 02:31.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW THAT WE HAVE

02:27.800 --> 02:34.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES WHICH IS

02:31.000 --> 02:36.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
RANGE ANXIETY.

02:31.600 --> 02:39.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID PEOPLE WHO

02:34.100 --> 02:40.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WANT OR OWN A VEHICLE THEY ARE

02:36.700 --> 02:42.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
NOT SURE THEY CAN GET TO WHERE

02:39.200 --> 02:44.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THEY NEED TO GO BECAUSE AT THE

02:40.700 --> 02:45.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OTHER END OF THE TRIP THERE WILL

02:42.000 --> 02:47.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
BE A PLACE TO CHARGE THE CAR.

02:44.333 --> 02:48.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> WE MET MEGHA LAKHCHURA AND

02:45.300 --> 02:49.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THAT IS WHAT THE COMPANY EV BOX

02:47.833 --> 02:52.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
DOES.

02:48.300 --> 02:56.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IT MAKES CHARGING STATIONS AND

02:49.966 --> 02:57.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THEY ARE MANUFACTURED IN THE

02:52.333 --> 02:59.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
NETHERLANDS BUT ALSO IN SUBURBAN

02:56.666 --> 03:00.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
LIBERTYVILLE.

02:57.100 --> 03:01.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
I ASKED ARE THE CHARGES STATIONS

02:59.200 --> 03:03.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
USED IN ILLINOIS?

03:00.500 --> 03:04.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
>> WE HOPE SO.

03:01.700 --> 03:07.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WE HOPE MORE OF THE CHARGERS ARE

03:03.633 --> 03:09.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
USED IN ILLINOIS.

03:04.766 --> 03:10.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WE ARE BRINGING STATE-OF-THE-ART

03:07.600 --> 03:14.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
TECHNOLOGY HERE WE'RE

03:09.033 --> 03:15.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
MANUFACTURING SUPER FAST

03:10.666 --> 03:19.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
CHARGERS 350 KILOWATT CHARGERS.

03:14.100 --> 03:21.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ILLINOIS CURRENTLY HAS ALMOST

03:15.966 --> 03:22.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
2,000 CHARGING PORTS.

03:19.233 --> 03:24.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SO IT NEEDS TO MAYBE INSTALL A

03:21.200 --> 03:27.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
LOT MORE.

03:22.700 --> 03:30.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> A WHOLE LOT MORE IN ORDER TO

03:24.600 --> 03:33.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
MAKE GOOD ON THE 2030 GOALS.

03:27.066 --> 03:35.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
OF THE 4.5 MILLION TOTAL CARS

03:30.966 --> 03:38.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
DRIVE ESPECIALLY IN ILLINOIS,

03:33.966 --> 03:40.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
27,000 ARE ELECTRIC BUT THE GOAL

03:35.466 --> 03:43.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
TO HAVE 750,000 ELECTRIC

03:38.133 --> 03:52.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
VEHICLES IN ILLINOIS BY 2030 AND

03:40.833 --> 03:56.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THAT MEANS ILLINOIS WOULD NEED

03:43.266 --> 03:58.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ABOUT 98,000 MORE CHARGING PORTS

03:52.333 --> 03:59.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
WITHIN THE DECADE.

03:56.066 --> 04:02.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
DANIEL HORTON IS FOCUSED ON

03:58.166 --> 04:02.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
SOLUTION ORIENTED PROBLEMS IN

03:59.900 --> 04:05.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WHAT HE DESCRIBES AS THE CLIMATE

04:02.266 --> 04:07.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
CRISIS.

04:02.833 --> 04:09.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> 17% OF THE U.S. GREENHOUSE

04:05.966 --> 04:11.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
GAS EMISSIONS COME FROM THE

04:07.900 --> 04:14.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR THE

04:09.366 --> 04:15.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
NATURAL REMEDY WOULD STOP

04:11.666 --> 04:17.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
EMITTING CO2 WHILE WE GET AROUND

04:14.800 --> 04:19.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
VIA VEHICLES.

04:15.800 --> 04:21.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> ONE OF THE MODELS THAT HE DID

04:17.400 --> 04:23.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
SHOW THAT IF A QUARTER OF

04:19.766 --> 04:26.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DRIVERS OF LIGHT DUTIES OF THE

04:21.700 --> 04:32.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
NORMAL CARS CONVERTED TO

04:23.966 --> 04:33.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ELECTRIC VEHICLES, THE U.S.

04:26.700 --> 04:35.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WOULD SAVE 250 GIGA TONS OF

04:32.533 --> 04:38.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
CARBON EMISSIONS.

04:33.866 --> 04:40.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
THE ADOPTION OF ELECTRIC

04:35.533 --> 04:42.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
VEHICLES IS A NO-BRAINER.

04:38.300 --> 04:44.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> IF WE ADOPT ELECTRIC

04:40.566 --> 04:45.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
VEHICLES, OUR CARBON EMISSIONS

04:42.266 --> 04:48.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
WILL GO DOWN.

04:44.300 --> 04:50.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THEY'LL STILL EXIST IN THE FORM

04:45.500 --> 04:53.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OF FOSSIL FUEL-BASED ELECTRICITY

04:48.733 --> 04:55.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
GENERATION BUT IT WILL BE MUCH

04:50.366 --> 04:56.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
LESSER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL

04:53.166 --> 04:58.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
VEHICLES THAT PEOPLE DRIVE

04:55.933 --> 04:59.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
TODAY.

04:56.233 --> 05:02.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> BUT THERE IS ANOTHER BENEFIT,

04:58.066 --> 05:07.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:10%
TOO.

04:59.700 --> 05:08.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> SO IN ADDITION TO EMITTING

05:02.766 --> 05:10.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CO2 YOUR ENGINE VEHICLE CAN EMIT

05:07.200 --> 05:13.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
PARTICULATE MATTER OR OTHER

05:08.866 --> 05:16.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
POLLUTANTS THAT EVENTUALLY CAN

05:10.766 --> 05:18.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
BE HARMFUL TO BREATHING.

05:13.566 --> 05:20.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
AND SO THE REMOVAL OF THOSE

05:16.500 --> 05:23.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
POLLUTANTS FROM THE TAILPIPES OF

05:18.233 --> 05:24.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
YOUR VEHICLE CAN HAVE

05:20.166 --> 05:27.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SIGNIFICANT HEALTH BENEFITS TO

05:23.400 --> 05:29.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
SOCIETY.

05:24.900 --> 05:31.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> AND SO WE HAVE FOCUSED ON

05:27.166 --> 05:32.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
PERSONAL CARS EFFORTS ARE ON

05:29.200 --> 05:37.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AFOOT FOR THE TRANSITION IN THE

05:31.133 --> 05:38.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
PUBLIC TRANSIT ARENA.

05:32.366 --> 05:41.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THIS MONTH, THE CTA DEBUTED NEW

05:37.000 --> 05:43.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ELECTRIC BUSES AND SUSAN MADD

05:38.433 --> 05:44.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
SAYS THESE ARE QUIETER AND

05:41.166 --> 05:46.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
CLEANER AND THEY HAVE THE BUSES

05:43.000 --> 05:48.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
GOING ON THE CHICAGO AVENUE

05:44.300 --> 05:49.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
