The Problems with the Electric Trucking Mandates
In this episode of the Energy Show with REI Energy, host Mike Mauceli discusses the potential impact of green policies on the trucking industry with guest Louie Pugh, Executive Vice President of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association. The conversation highlights concerns regarding the Biden administration's environmental initiatives targeting long-haul truckers and the broader implications for the industry and national supply chain.
Mauceli and Pugh explore the practical challenges of transitioning to electric trucks, including the cost, infrastructure, and physical limitations of electric vehicles compared to diesel trucks.
