Ikholamu yeendwendwe: UAnn Arbor wenza amanyathelo okuhlangabezana neenjongo zekharbon-cala

NguChristopher Taylor

I-ANN ARBOR, MI-Izixeko kulo lonke elaseMelika zijongene nemiceli mngeni enzima ngexesha lasehlotyeni lika-2020. Ngokuvuka kwakhona kwe-COVID-19, inkqubo yezoqoqosho ephantsi koxinzelelo olukhulu, ukubonakala okucacileyo kwentlungu kunye nezohlwayo zenkqubo yokungekho sikweni ngokobuhlanga, kunye nenyaniso kanye. kunye nesoyikiso sokutshintsha kwemozulu yasekuhlaleni, indlela yethu inzima.

Umda kunye nobunzulu baloo mingeni bubangela ukuqondwa ukuba kufuneka sitshintshe indlela. Umyalelo omiselweyo awuyi kwenza. Ngeli xesha masithethe ngemozulu yendawo yethu. NdinguSodolophu wemozulu yeNdawo, kwaye ndiyazingca ukuthi uAnn Arbor uthatha amanyathelo okuqinisekisa ikamva elikhulu kubumelwane bethu nakwindawo ebanzi.

Ngoku sinikezele nje isicwangciso esibizwa ngokuba yi-A2ZERO, echaza indlela kunye nendlela yokufumana utshintsho olulula lokungathathi hlangothi kwikhabhoni ngomnyaka wama-2030. Esi sicwangciso sinikelwe ngamxhelo mnye ngoJuni. I-A2ZERO inombono wenguqu yesakhiwo, kodwa ikwatyhila iindlela zokuchaphazela impumelelo yekhabhoni ngelo xesha.

Ukusukela ngoJuni, uAnn Arbor utyale imali kwindawo yethu yokuqala yokumelana nemozulu yasekhaya, yanyusa inkqubo yethu yeSolarize Ann Arbor yokuphucula ukungena kosapho kumandla ombane we-voltaic, utyale imali engaphezulu kwe-75,000 yeedola kwizibonelelo kumaziko endalo ukuqhubela phambili uluhlu olubanzi lwezenzo ezinxulumene nokuzinza, iinkokheli zolutsha ezixhaswayo kwingqungquthela yozinzo olukhokelwa lulutsha, ziye zaqalisa ukuthengwa kwebhayisekile yombane ngokubanzi kuluntu ngokubanzi, kwaye zisungula ii-RFPs zokubeka amandla e-photo voltaic kwizinto ezininzi ze-metropolis.

Sisiqalo nje eso.

Ukukhutshwa kweemoto yenye indawo enye esikwaziyo ukuqala ngayo ngokuphumelela ngokukhawuleza. Imisebenzi yemoto ithatha indawo enkulu yekhabhoni yendawo yethu, yiyo loo nto sithatha inxaxheba phakathi kooSodolophu bemozulu yaseKhaya i-Electrical Car Buying Collaborate, sisebenza ngononophelo kunye ne-Electrification Coalition ukuze songeze ii-EVs kwinqanawa yethu kamasipala kwaye senze i-Ann Arbor EV- ilungile.

I-Electrification Coalition mva nje isungule ityala lokuhlola umsebenzi wethu kwii-EVs ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iqaqambisa i-2018 Inexperienced Fleets Coverage, ekubhekiselwa kuyo njengawo onke amasebe edolophu ukubuyisela umva ukukhutshwa kwezithuthi nge-25% ngo-2025, xa kuthelekiswa noluhlu olusisiseko luka-2017. Ukulandela ukuthunyelwa kwangaphambili kwee-Chevrolet Bolts zombane zonke, idolophu ibambisene neManyano yoMbane yiNtsebenziswano yokuncedisa nokwazisa ezinye iindlela ezizezinye kwiimoto ze-metropolis ekutshintsheni kumbane.

Ukusebenzisana neNtsebenziswano kunye nokutsalwa kwezona zenzo zibalaseleyo kwilizwe lonke, uAnn Arbor wanyula ukuthenga enye enye i-17 Chevrolet Bolts ukuze kuchaphazele aBahloli abaSakhayo iimoto ezithwala ukukhanya, ukongeza kwiimoto ezisetyenziselwa iyunithi yethu yeeMfuno zeQela, kunye neyokugqibela. Iphuli yeMotor.

Ngokusebenzisana neNtsebenziswano, ngoku siye sanxulumana noomasipala abohlukeneyo ukuphuhlisa ummiselo wokuqala we-EV-Lungela wedolophu kunye nezilungiso ezinokubakho kwiKhowudi yethu yoHlumo eManyeneyo ukuncedisa ukwamkelwa kwe-EV ebumelwaneni. Sifunde kwaye saphinda impumelelo evela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zolawulo - ngakumbi eAtlanta, eDenver naseColumbus, eOhio (loo monakalo omnye!) - ukuphakamisa ukuqonda imiba, imingeni, kunye neendlela ezisetyenziswe ngabanye ukwenza ubugcisa kunye nokuhamba ngokufanelekileyo izikhokelo zomthetho. Ndifuna ukuba isindululo sethu sibe phambi kwebhunga ekupheleni kwalo nyaka.

Ngaphezu koko, besikwimeko yokuxhasa amava obugcisa kunye novavanyo lweManyano yoMbane ukuze simisele iindlela zobuchule zokufumana inkxaso-mali kunye nokuthengwa kwempahla ukuze sijongane nomrhumo onxulumeneyo kunye notshintsho lweziseko ezingundoqo zeebhasi zethu zokuhamba ukuya kumbane. Idolophu iza kuqhubeleka phambili neenjongo zayo zokumisela izikhululo zokutshaja ii-EV kwidolophu yonke (iitshaja ezili-100 ze-EV ngonyaka), ukuncedisa injongo yokwamkelwa kwe-EV yoluntu ngokubanzi yama-20% ngo-2030. Siza kuqhubeka nokusebenza neNtsebenziswano idolophu yokubonelela ngezona zenzo zinkulu kukhuselo, amaxabiso kunye nemiba yobugcisa.

Ngokungabikho kolawulo lwelizwe lonke, oorhulumente bamazwe kunye nabomthonyama kufuneka bathathe amanyathelo. Senza imitsi emihle e-Ann Arbor ekuhlanganiseni iithagethi zethu zokungathathi cala kwekhabhoni kunye nokuzuza inkqubo yezoqoqosho ye-zero-carbon elinganayo nelinganayo, nangona kunjalo kusenokubakho okuninzi okunokwenziwa kwaye kuncinci ukuba kuya kuba lula. Siyazingca ngokusebenzisana noorhulumente bomthonyama abohlukeneyo kwilizwe lonke besebenza kwicala lale njongo, ukufunda kwabanye, ukwabelana nabanye ngempumelelo yethu kunye nezikhubekiso zethu. Siyazi sonke ukuba asinakuyenza sodwa; sikule nto ngokudibeneyo.
