Political Climate: Policy Options to Reverse Climate Change

In the pre-Copenhagen world of a few months ago, leaders carried an aura of certainty about finding the right policy solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change. In a post-Copenhagen gridlock, our experts look at the range of policy options, which could be the most effective, and what is realistically likely in the year ahead.

Penny For Your Thoughts: Writing Winning Grant Proposals

Emergency preparedness took on new meaning last year when billions of dollars in federal grants for alternative fuels and advanced technologies were announced. The difference between the “had” and the “had nots” was a basic understanding of everything from figuring out who had grant dollars to how to put together a competitive proposal. This group of experts will put the “Ready” in your “Ready.  Set.  Go.”

News Flash: The Changing Role of Media in the 21st Century

In the 18th century, public discourse was consumed by the corrupting influence of the new social media, also known as the novel. Like the novel before it, social media has redefined how people access information and news. Old methods of message delivery have to be re-evaluated and new media strategies need to be understood and incorporated into business planning. Journalists in the field offer their take on the new information paradigm.

Special Interest: Why Advocacy Matters

Political advocacy is an evolution, not a revolution and alternative fuel industry interests are beginning to evolve. Advocates represent a wealth of experience from fuel associations to community based organizations. As more capitols are “green friendly,” savvy communicators are making significant inroads in influencing and educating policymakers about effective ways to build the new transportation paradigm.

Fleets Driving the New Transportation Paradigm

There is no industry changing as rapidly as transportation and, absent the certainty of omniscient experts, how is a fleet manager to make decisions about the fuels, vehicles and technologies available today? Hindsight shows us that fleet decision-makers, drawing on a combination of experience, informed guessing or policy compliance are best able to shed a light on tomorrow by focusing on today. Each of the twelve sessions features a fleet or fleets either in the alternative fuel decision-making process or currently using alternative fuels, vehicles and/or technologies.
