Here's the night's topic: Trump's executive order ending government subsidies for EV purchase and infrastructure will hurt the environment and the economy.

The emergence of Hybrid vehicles (HEV’s), plug-in hybrids (PHEV’s), and full electric vehicles have been responsible for much innovation, but also much controversy. Full EV's, in particular, have increasingly become a partisan battlefield. So what is the correct way to approach this complicated and multifaceted issue? Can we cut through the partisan rhetoric to examine the pros and cons of this emerging technology and see how all types of automobiles may remain part of the big picture? Join us and our special guest, NYS District 12 Assemblyman Keith Brown in discussing this important topic and it's implications for Long Island, NYS, and the United States.
