Boudreaux, President & Chief Executive Officer, talks about how her company, Oberon Fuels. 

Oberon Fuels is slashing the environmental impact of fuels used for transportation, industry and heating – especially in large, hard-to-abate sectors such as medium- and heavy-duty transportation and agricultural operations.

We are on a mission to decarbonize the fuel and energy sectors through the commercialization of renewable dimethyl ether. Oberon’s low or carbon-negative rDME  fuel can reduce the carbon intensity of LPG by up to 60 percent when blended, offering potential reductions in global CO  of 750 million metric tons per year. Our rDME  fuel is also a compelling approach for transporting hydrogen for its myriad, fast-growing applications.

The Tennessee House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on March 31 to approve a bill directing the state's Department of Agriculture to set up a licensing program for people to legally grow hemp. The bill's sponsor, Cosby Republican Jeremy Faison, said the cannabis plant has a long history in American of being used for productive, beneficial uses. Faison noted that in the recent U.S. Farm Bill, signed by President Obama back in February, permission is granted for states to regulate hemp production and allow universities to study it. After the bill passed on an 88-5 vote, Faison handed products made from hemp to the chamber's leaders of both parties. Among the items were breakfast cereal, soap, cooking oil and twine.

Preserving and enhancing valuable natural resources and the ecosystems that are essential to a thriving and prosperous existence requires a rethink of how our economy operates.

Robert Reich and Mark Zandi debate Glenn Hubbard and Arthur Laffer on the topic: The Rich Are Taxed Enough. Moderated by John Donvan.

How do we fix the economy? The U.S. government's budget deficit is nearing a trillion dollars for the fourth straight year and unemployment remains high. With the Bush-era tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of 2012, what is the best move for continued economic recovery? President Obama says we should raise taxes on those making more than $250,000 to reduce the deficit. Others say that the richest 1% already pay more than a quarter of all federal taxes and higher taxes for job creators would slow economic growth. Are the nation's wealthiest not paying their "fair share," or should tax breaks be extended for everyone in the name of job creation?

Suma Peesapati, lawyer and board president of Communities for a Better Environment, argues that despite California’s far reaching policies on climate issues being lauded as progressive, they do not always improve the lives of people in low income communities of color, which are most heavily impacted by pollution. In particular she takes aim at the state’s flawed cap-and-trade program.

This clip summarizes Ms. Peesapati’s comments made as part of a roundtable hosted by the Carnegie Council’s journal, "Ethics & International Affairs", at the International Studies Association’s Annual Convention, which took place in April 2018.
