In this episode, host Eric R. Byer is joined by industry leaders from the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) to discuss the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill on chemical distribution and the broader industry. They explore the legislation’s immediate benefits for member companies, how key tax provisions could support growth, investment, and competitiveness, and how the bill reflects long-standing industry priorities for balancing safety and expansion. The conversation also turns to the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger, examining its potential effects on freight service, competition, and the ability of companies to deliver essential products, as well as the implications of changes at the Surface Transportation Board for a fair review process.
