Transport committee  Wonderful. Thank you....

Transport committee  First I should frame it up. We're a fact-based organization dealing with fleets all over the world. We actually have a pretty great view into the operational performance of a variety of vehicles—makes, models, geography, utility, you name it. Our principle is always to approach every scenario with a fact-based conversation.

Transport committee  We talked about there being an absence of regulatory support for standards. I'll give you some low-hanging fruit. If you look at a blender pump for an ethanol blend, there are no standards. Other than E85, there are no standards for other blends that exist in other countries and that are successful.

Transport committee  We created the video accounting because we could barely believe the conversations we were having, to be honest.

Transport committee  We felt as though we had to document it as evidence to support the notion that there is a void here, and a huge appetite to participate.

Transport committee  It does. As I identified before, this is not our core business, and we've been navigating this with our own funds from a benevolent perspective. Part of our social commitment in terms of sustainability is realizing that this conversation hasn't happened to a meaningful extent. We know that's true because the senior leaders—captains of industry and influencers in this area—are telling us it's not happening.

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. I don't think we're waiting for anything. What we've discovered is an appetite to proactively participate in a solution and get involved. One of the things we've shared in terms of some of the stakeholders at the table today, and many others, is that I don't think we can come with our hands out.

Transport committee  Go ahead, Larry, by all means. I didn't get a hug, though. Thank you.

Transport committee  I appreciate the question. Understand, we have come here with two different perspectives that actually are aligned. We fell into a conversation quite by accident to enable the fleet leaders we work with to find other ways to reduce their harmful emissions. That conversation really talked about the need for private industry to take control of a collaborative strategy to properly advise....

Transport committee  Thanks to our present CEO, we've spent several hundred thousand dollars of our own money. There's no financial return or reward for this, just so you know.
