Don Steinke, a local environmental activist, announced his candidacy this week for the second commissioner position at Clark Public Utilities.
“The city of Vancouver is developing a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent by 2030,” Steinke told The Columbian. He said that goal would be impossible unless the utility “plans for and facilitates charging stations for commercial fleets such as for Waste Connections, Amazon, UPS, Pepsi distributors, police cars, school buses and drayage fleets from the airport to warehouses here.”
