What is going on with California and their move to all electric vehicles? To discuss this topic and many others, special and returning guest Matt Smorch joins hosts Jeff Jarett and Sal Sama in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  Matt is the President and CEO of CountryMark Cooperative, one of the largest private Indiana companies by revenue.

Jeff, Sal, and Matt discuss some of the changes the new administration has brought about and the impacts those changes have had on the energy industry including the new EPA tailpipe standards.  Matt will discuss the yo-yo effect the market has had with changing leadership and how CountryMark manages to stay stable in the midst of it.  You’ll learn how having their own pipeline and refineries has helped CountryMark meet demand needs and benefit their consumers.  If you’re wondering what’s going on with California’s desired gas car ban and how you can help individuals retain their ability to choose their own vehicles, you’ll want to make sure you tune into today’s episode, and get involved by visiting https://empower.afpm.org/actions/stop-californias-gas-car-ban-take-action-now-cm-emp.
