Opinion: Cleaner air, arriving soon by US mail

KENNEBEC JOURNAL • December 27, 2022

The U.S. Postal Service announced this week that it will spend billions of dollars to buy tens of thousands of electric delivery vehicles over the next few years. It’s a victory in the fight against climate change and a welcome shift by an agency that until recently had intended to update its huge, aging fleet with another generation of gas guzzlers. It’s also a win for public health, as a growing number of zero-emission mail trucks will soon start to deliver not only letters and packages, but cleaner air to every corner of the nation. ~ Los Angeles Times
