NEW YORK CITY – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Banking Committee, joined Brian Moynihan, Chairman and CEO of Bank of America, for a Fireside Chat during the 2022 Sustainable Markets Initiative CEO Summit in New York City.
“It was a pleasure to host Brian Moynihan in Fargo, North Dakota, for the second installment of my ‘Bully Pulpit’ series and I was honored to join him in New York City to further our discussion on the future of energy. North Dakota has found the right balance because we are naturally agrarian. We understand without sustainability, we have no land or resources to develop. It was a pleasure to show North Dakota’s excellence to leaders from around the United States and the world. I encourage them to follow Brian’s lead and come see our state’s innovation first hand,” said Senator Cramer.
Background:
Senator Cramer hosted Mr. Moynihan in Fargo, North Dakota, in November 2021. Mr. Moynihan visited North Dakota State University for moderated discussion and town hall on climate solutions as part of Senator Cramer’s “Bully Pulpit” speaker series. The “Bully Pulpit” brings a variety of public officials and influential leaders to North Dakota to hear from constituents and share their expertise in a format designed for constructive discussions.
Senator Cramer highlighted North Dakota’s leadership in research and innovative climate solutions. He emphasized the need for environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards that account for emissions reductions rather than targeting specific fuels. There were also presentations on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), which Mr. Moynihan expressed a desire to learn more about in previous conversations with Senator Cramer.
