Taxi Cab Industry gets County to shut down Electric Vehicles
Acting at the behest of the taxi cab industry, Hillsborough County's Public Transportation Commission voted 4-2 Wednesday to shut down operation of neighborhood electric vehicles. The board vote carried the force of law, and NEV companies face citations if they didn't sideline the slow-moving, open-air carts. The commission's vote came after attorneys for cab companies argued the vehicles are unsafe and unfair competition for traditional taxis. The vehicles are open-air and can only go 26 mph.… Continue

Save the Manatees or Let Them Go Extinct? It's Our Choice
Perhaps the most specific, direct threat to this seal-like herbivore is the omnipresent powerboat. When you combine the speed of such vessels with the fact that manatees are slow, near-surface swimmers, well...let's put it this way: In 1990 alone, 12% of the United States' manatee population (218 manatees in all) were killed in boating accidents and things haven't exactly improved since then. Working to make sure that boat speed zones are enforced is a solid first step. As is the case with many… Continue
