As transportation alternatives to traditional gasoline vehicles continue to emerge on the marketplace, policymakers must look at the current barriers facing mass implementation and for other solutions besides electric vehicles.  During the 2023 National Clean Energy Week Policymakers Symposium, Bob Stout, Senior Fellow at the Duke Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainability, moderated a panel discussion on the regulatory barriers facing the transportation industry. Panelists included Theresa Romanosky, Assistant General Counsel for American Association of Railroads; Dr. Gavin Towler, Corporate Vice President and Chief Scientist of Sustainable Technologies at Honeywell; Tahmid Mizan, Global Regulatory Manager at ExxonMobil; and Jeff Clarke, Vice President of Regulatory and Government Affairs at NGVAmerica.  Want to learn more?
