EARTH DAY PODCAST: Chevy Fuel Solutions
Adam Denison
GM Social Media Coordinator
Happy Earth Day, everyone!
Welcome to the first installment of the Chevy Fuel Solutions Podcast. We figured Earth Day was the perfect time for us to launch a podcast dedicated to showing our listeners what Chevy is doing to make our vehicles go from gas-friendly to gas-free.
As some of you may know, Chevy is leading the charge in GM’s environmental initiatives. We hope this podcast will highlight some of the efforts the company is making to diversify our fuel needs, and just be more environmentally friendly. Some of the topics we will cover are:
- Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle
- E85 and cellulosic ethanol explained
- GM and Chevy’s hybrid lineup and plans for the future
- Improving the internal combustion engine
- Electric vehicles
- Common green myths
- Recycling tips
- Going green on a shoestring
Those are our thoughts for some topics, but what do you think? What would you like to hear us discuss? We may not be able to accommodate every request, but we’ll sure do our best.
In today’s episode Cheryl Catton, Chevrolet’s General Director of Car Marketing, discusses Project Driveway, a real-world market test of Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles powered by hydrogen. Take a listen, and let us know what you think.

I think improving the combustion engine is a waste of time. I think electric vehicles and the hydrogen fuel cell should be focused on.

I see your point, but we need to work on both long-term and short-term solutions. Improving the ICE now helps us focus on the long-term solutions like fuel cells and EVs. Thanks for the comment!

I for one am tired of all the attacks on the auto industry. Why don't we attack the meat and dairy industry (factory farming), they are by far the worst contributor to global warming and GHG.

Secondly population growth is another big problem faced by the Earth, not the auto. It doesn't take rocket since to figure out you can only put so many people in one place and grow food for them all.
So why do politicians focus on the auto industry and not the largest threat? It is an easy target to blame that will not affect their electability. How many people would vote for someone that wanted to tax instead of subsidize the steak on your plate? How many people would vote for someone to remove the tax breaks you get for having kids?
