Green Car Advisor's O'Dell To Advise Congress on Alternative Vehicles, Fuels

john-odell.jpg If you're a regular reader, you know that we often link over to the deeper analysis on Edmunds.com's Green Car Advisor. The blog is edited by John O'Dell, one of the foremost writers in the field of alternative vehicles and green technology. This week O'Dell was appointed to serve on the National Research Council's Committee on Transitions to Alternate Vehicles and Fuels.

This committee will advise the U.S. Congress on developing policy that could reduce dependency on foreign oil and decrease greenhouse gases.

"Not everyone has the opportunity to actually get on one of these committees to not only see how they function but also to bring ideas to the table," said O'Dell. "I hope to be able to share some insights about consumer attitudes toward alternative vehicles and fuels, gleaned from the millions of interactions Edmunds.com has with consumers each month."

O'Dell has written for Edmunds.com since 2007, following a 25-year career as a reporter and editor at the Los Angeles Times.
