President Biden recently announced an executive order that would make half of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2030 zero-emission. Now, it was a non-binding order, but it had an agreement letter by some of the top manufacturing leaders in our country. Dr. B. is an engineering professor at The University of Alabama, and an expert on automotive systems. He is joining us now by Facetime with more on the likelihood of if this will actually be able to happen.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
