With all the press releases from towns, counties and states that have gotten federal money to buy hybrids lately, it's interesting to note those who don't.
In Oregon, a $15 million application to provide hybrid vehicles and electric recharging stations along Interstate 5 and Interstate 84 was not approved. Oregon had hoped to use the funds to help purchase 800 vehicles that use partial or all electric power, as well as 1,250 recharging stations.
"Oregon's project was unfortunately not selected for funding under this opportunity. We are currently trying to identify other sources of funds or other ways to accomplish the objectives of the project," said Oregon Business Development Department Clean Tech Industry Strategist Mark Brady.
