The House of Representatives will soon vote on three pieces of legislation to rein in the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from (1) imposing and enabling de facto bans on new cars and trucks that run on liquid fuels and (2) from radically transforming the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) into a new nine-figure-government subsidy program for electric vehicles (EVs).
We each have a responsibility to act with integrity and uphold the highest standards in all that we do. In this interactive session we will provide you with a tool to use when faced with an ethical decision as well as provide real world scenarios to practice making ethical decisions.

American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) President and CEO Chet Thompson today applauded the bipartisan passage of H.R. 1435, the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act, from the House of Representatives. Chet testified before the House Energy & Commerce Committee in favor of H.R. 1435 earlier this summer.
Renewable fuel incentives continue to evolve with the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This new legislation provides opportunities for renewable fuel manufacturers, such as expanded and more lucrative credit programs, but also establishes new challenges including linking credits to established carbon intensity targets. We explore these new programs, potential impacts on existing manufacturers, and the anticipated effects on the broader renewable fuel market and new investments.
