Promise and Peril: How government action can help or hurt industry efforts

Driving to Zero: The auto industry's road map to carbon neutrality

From 2009 to 2012, the EPA's Margo Oge served as the architect of the U.S. government’s first-ever formal action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. In this episode, Oge and Ford sustainability chief Bob Holycross talk about that landmark deal between the Obama Administration and automakers, as well as the lessons it offers for regulators and industry insiders today. We also hear from General Motors' former chief economist, Elaine Buckberg, about what the Inflation Reduction Act and other recent federal laws mean for the industry's move toward electric vehicles.
