Stephanie is a land use and environmental lawyer in Oregon. She loves writing, running and enjoying the great outdoors. Concern for rising fuel costs and national security has lead to an interest in plug-in electric hybrid cars and clean, renewable energy sources, including solar power. Wouldn't it be great if we could all breathe a little easier?
