Presented by Ceres, Punchbowl News founder Anna Palmer will interview Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) in a one-on-one virtual conversation about the climate and clean energy investments proposed in reconciliation and the future of these proposals. Afterward, Siemens U.S. CEO Barbara Humpton will join Anna for a fireside conversation.

Transportation remains the leading and growing source of GHG and harmful air pollutant emissions in the U.S. Many leading businesses and their investors are especially curious about the transition to electric vehicles, recognizing a huge opportunity to make progress on their own sustainability goals, while saving money on gas and maintenance—estimated cumulative net fleet savings, including purchase costs, fuel and maintenance expenses would be $5.8b by 2050. However, the availability of electric commercial trucks has been slow to develop. Colorado is considering innovative policies that would bring clean trucks to Colorado: Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) and the Heavy-Duty Omnibus (HDO) rules. With no equivalent federal policy for zero-emission trucks, the states that adopt these rules will be first in line to access an increasing number of clean truck models from manufacturers. Join Ceres, E2, and Good Business Colorado to: Deep dive into how the proposed Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) and the Heavy-Duty Omnibus (HDO) rules would work Breakdown what it means for businesses to purchase and operate electric trucks Discuss how these policies will 1) drive job growth and investment in Colorado’s clean energy economy, 2) reduce business costs, and 3) mitigate the toxic, local transportation pollution that negatively impacts people and the economy.
