He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R.

One area of possible conflict is on auto emissions standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/homepage.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Air Resources Board\u003c/a> recently voted to reaffirm California’s emissions standards for vehicles sold between 2022 and 2025.

Here’s an edited transcript of that conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: These standards would mean an average of about 54 miles per gallon across all vehicle types. What does that mean the auto industry needs to do?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We have always said that even though we understand the automakers and they have to make a profit, I still feel you have to keep automakers’ feet to the fire.’\u003ccite>Ron Cogan President, Green Car Institute\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Cogan: Automakers have to do a lot. That’s a very, very high number for fuel efficiency.

But the auto industry has had five years to prepare for these standards. They still don’t go into effect for another five years. So what is so hard about doing this for the industry?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cogan: Cars, for the longest time, were getting 15 miles a gallon, 20 miles a gallon. Then we started seeing cars over 30 miles a gallon. You have hybrids that can get 50 miles a gallon. But most cars cannot. To get to that point, it takes a lot of advanced technology; a lot of advanced materials. So when you say they have five years to do it, well that may be, but in five years, to do that is going to absolutely require a lot of electrification, plug in hybrids and battery electric cars and so on. But the cost is significant and that’s the core issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1520765\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 327px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1520765 \" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/03/Ron-Cogan-Capitol-Hill-1020x1400.jpg\" alt=\"Ron Cogan \" width=\"327\" height=\"446\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ron Cogan\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You have to convince buyers to spend $800 to $1200 more for a vehicle purchase with the thought they are going to save money in the long run. And that’s not an easy path. So it’s easy to point that out. It is not so easy to change consumer behaviors and encourage them to buy those fuel efficient cars at a much greater cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: Last week at the state air board hearing, Steve Douglas with the \u003ca href=\"https://autoalliance.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers\u003c/a> testified. He’s the group’s senior director of energy and environment. He said consumers aren’t buying enough electric cars for them to meet the standards [and sales would have to triple to meet the regulations]. So you mention that it’s tough to convince a consumer to spend $800 to $1,200 per car. But why aren’t consumers more interested in electric cars, period?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cogan: A battery electric car is quite expensive to make. Batteries are very expensive. It’s the same issue electric cars had in the 90s. They’ve come a long way since then. And now we have plug-in hybrids that give you some battery range. We have battery electric cars that can give you 80 or 110 miles. The Chevy Bolt EV can give you 238 miles. Those are all good moves. But cars—electric cars—are more expensive than conventional cars. And many of them have limited driving ranges. So when it’s said that not that many are stepping up compared to conventional vehicles, absolutely true. Because at this point, electric vehicles don’t fit the needs of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If someone needs a car for commuting, and they have an electric car that gives them an 80 mile range, they may not feel comfortable with their daily commute in that car. Some may, if they’re only commuting 20 miles—it’s perfect for them. But for so many others, they don’t want to have a car so limited, which is again why plug-in hybrids are so important. You drive maybe 15, 30 miles on electric power and then you’re driving a hybrid after that with no limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: Is it possible that vehicles could become cleaner without these regulations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cogan: We have always said that even though we understand the automakers and they have to make a profit, I still feel you have to keep automakers’ feet to the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of that, research and development will slow in that area. Automakers will, as a matter of course, look for vehicles that deliver a profit. But they also have to be competitive, which means fuel efficiency is important to a lot of buyers. They will have to continue to make better and better vehicles, that get higher and higher fuel efficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without requirements, though, the pace will slow. So, we will eventually get there, but the federal regulations and the state regulations are driving this on a faster timeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ron Cogan is president of the \u003ca href=\"http://greencarinstitute.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Car Institute\u003c/a>, which educates consumers, the media and the industry on the benefits of environmentally conscious vehicles and technologies.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Because at this point, electric vehicles don’t fit the needs of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If someone needs a car for commuting, and they have an electric car that gives them an 80 mile range, they may not feel comfortable with their daily commute in that car. Some may, if they’re only commuting 20 miles—it’s perfect for them. But for so many others, they don’t want to have a car so limited, which is again why plug-in hybrids are so important. You drive maybe 15, 30 miles on electric power and then you’re driving a hybrid after that with no limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: Is it possible that vehicles could become cleaner without these regulations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cogan: We have always said that even though we understand the automakers and they have to make a profit, I still feel you have to keep automakers’ feet to the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of that, research and development will slow in that area. Automakers will, as a matter of course, look for vehicles that deliver a profit. But they also have to be competitive, which means fuel efficiency is important to a lot of buyers. They will have to continue to make better and better vehicles, that get higher and higher fuel efficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without requirements, though, the pace will slow. So, we will eventually get there, but the federal regulations and the state regulations are driving this on a faster timeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ron Cogan is president of the \u003ca href=\"http://greencarinstitute.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Car Institute\u003c/a>, which educates consumers, the media and the industry on the benefits of environmentally conscious vehicles and technologies.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Legendary photojournalist Nick Ut has captured tens of thousands of images in his five decades with the Associated Press. But his work will undoubtedly be remembered most for the historic \"Napalm Girl\" photo from the war in Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A young Vietnamese girl runs screaming from her village after a napalm bomb was dropped on it. The napalm has burned off her clothes and singed her skin. The 1972 photo shows the chaos and atrocities of the Vietnam War, and many believe, eventually helped end it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The photo won Ut a Pulitzer Prize at age 21. He believes it probably helped save the girl's life, even before it was developed and put on the news wire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I saw her arm burning, her back burning,\" Ut said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He put down his camera, gave the girl water to drink and poured it on her burns. Then he took her in his van to the nearest hospital. When doctors there refused to treat her, suggesting a children’s hospital two hours away, Ut flashed his press pass and said her photo would likely be on the front page of every newspaper the next day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was treated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody believed she [was] still alive that day,\" Ut said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not even himself. But she survived. The \"Napalm Girl” in Ut’s Pulitzer Prize winning photo is Kim Phuc. She’s 53 years old, a mother of two, and lives in Canada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/03/2017-03-31d-tcrmag.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/AP_489943708182_200-800x586.jpg\" Title=\"'Napalm Girl' Photojournalist Nick Ut Retires After 51 Years With AP\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ut retired from the Associated Press this week after 51 years. His career began at age 15 when he started working for the AP in Saigon, but he wanted to start even earlier. According to the AP, Ut's older brother Huynh Thanh My was an AP photographer who was killed by Viet Cong rebels in 1965. At his brother's funeral, Ut approached the late Horst Faas, photo editor for AP's Saigon bureau. Peter Arnett, AP's Saigon correspondent at the time, remembers the disappointing moment for Ut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He wanted to follow in his brother's footsteps.\" Arnett told KQED. \"He wanted to be a war photographer, and Horst looked at him -- this 14 year old kid at the time -- and said, 'maybe in the future, but you’re too young.

His career began at age 15 when he started working for the AP in Saigon, but he wanted to start even earlier. According to the AP, Ut's older brother Huynh Thanh My was an AP photographer who was killed by Viet Cong rebels in 1965. At his brother's funeral, Ut approached the late Horst Faas, photo editor for AP's Saigon bureau. Peter Arnett, AP's Saigon correspondent at the time, remembers the disappointing moment for Ut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He wanted to follow in his brother's footsteps.\" Arnett told KQED. \"He wanted to be a war photographer, and Horst looked at him -- this 14 year old kid at the time -- and said, 'maybe in the future, but you’re too young. You have to go back to your family.' And Nick said, 'the AP’s my family now.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ut persisted, and Arnett remembers the AP agreed to use him carefully as a street photographer in Saigon.

Stripping federal funding from such cities, including San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, has been a priority of the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"AK7PusNH5lfmF60mg5pmfoiQTYtdLWvG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly's \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3534116-DOJ-DHS-Joint-Letter-to-CA-Chief-Justice-Cantil.html\" target=\"_blank\">response\u003c/a> made public Friday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the chief judicial officer of the State of California, your characterization of federal law enforcement officers is particularly troubling. As you are aware, stalking has a specific legal meaning in American law, which describes criminal activity involving repetitive following or harassment of the victim with the intent to produce fear of harm.\u003cbr>\n...\u003cbr>\nSome jurisdictions, including the State of California and many of its largest counties and cities, have enacted statues and ordinances designed to specifically prohibit or hinder ICE from enforcing immigration law by prohibiting communication with ICE, and denying requests by ICE officers and agents to enter prisons and jails to make arrests. Such policies threaten public safety, rather than enhance it.

Stripping federal funding from such cities, including San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, has been a priority of the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly's \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3534116-DOJ-DHS-Joint-Letter-to-CA-Chief-Justice-Cantil.html\" target=\"_blank\">response\u003c/a> made public Friday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the chief judicial officer of the State of California, your characterization of federal law enforcement officers is particularly troubling. As you are aware, stalking has a specific legal meaning in American law, which describes criminal activity involving repetitive following or harassment of the victim with the intent to produce fear of harm.\u003cbr>\n...\u003cbr>\nSome jurisdictions, including the State of California and many of its largest counties and cities, have enacted statues and ordinances designed to specifically prohibit or hinder ICE from enforcing immigration law by prohibiting communication with ICE, and denying requests by ICE officers and agents to enter prisons and jails to make arrests. Such policies threaten public safety, rather than enhance it. As a result, ICE officers and agents are required to locate and arrest these aliens in public places, rather than in secure jail facilities where the risk of injury to the public, the alien, and the officer is significantly increased because the alien can more readily access a weapon, resist arrest, or flee. Because courthouse visitors are typically screened upon entry to search for weapons and other contraband, the safety risks for arresting officers and persons being arrests are substantially decreased.\u003cbr>\n...\u003cbr>\nTherefore, we would encourage you to express your concerns to the Governor of California and local officials who have enacted policies that occasionally necessitate ICE officers and agents to make arrests at courthouses and other public places.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye doubled down on her previous comments in a written statement, arguing that immigration arrests inside courthouses will discourage victims and witnesses from coming to court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
