Governor Tony Evers has taken a major step towards reducing Wisconsin's carbon footprint by issuing an executive order requiring state agencies to increase their purchases of electric and hybrid vehicles. The move is part of a broader effort to promote clean energy and combat climate change in the state. Under the new order, state agencies will be required to ensure that at least 50% of their new vehicle purchases are electric or hybrid models, with the goal of eventually phasing out gas-powered vehicles altogether. The decision is expected to have a significant impact on Wisconsin's transportation sector, which is one of the largest contributors to the state's greenhouse gas emissions.
