ELECTRIC VEHICLES: BEYOND THE CARBON QUESTION

January 13, 2022 @ 7:00 pm-8:30 pm

BHAS Program via ZOOM Thursday, January 13th 7 PM

With Cliff Rice

Registration Required

We’re in a climate emergency. Electric vehicles are needed as part of the clean energy transition. They also increase short-term carbon emissions, destroy rainforests, and dramatically increase the environmental effects associated with mining for battery minerals. What’s a conscientious planetary citizen to do?

Cliff is a wildlife research scientist, retired from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and on the Board of Directors for the Alliance for Tompotika Conservation (Indonesia).

He was born in India and his interest in wildlife grew out of childhood experiences in forests and mountains of India.  In addition to his doctoral research in South India on Nilgiri tahr, he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, coordinated research on sloth bear (in India), and was a biologist for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.   He conducted research on mountain goats and black-tailed deer for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
