Garfield Clean Energy and CLEER are also part of a statewide effort to reduce dependence on oil through the adoption of electric vehicles. GCE/CLEER is a part of a statewide coalition of businesses, governments, and non-profits working on the effort, called “Fostering Electric Vehicle Expansion in the Rockies” or “Project FEVER,” which is being coordinated by the Denver Metro Clean Cities Coalition. The coalition recently won a grant for the effort from the Department of Energy. To read more about Project FEVER, click here.
