Following Donald J. Trump winning the presidential election, Portland Cement Association President and CEO Mike Ireland released the following statement:
“The Portland Cement Association (PCA) – representing America’s cement manufacturers – congratulates and looks forward to working with President Donald J. Trump and both newly-elected and returning members of Congress.
“PCA is eager to work with the incoming administration to create market‐based policies and initiatives that will enable the cement and concrete industry’s continued reduction of its carbon footprint while preserving its global competitiveness.
“This industry takes pride in fortifying the actual building blocks of America’s infrastructure, which allows all Americans to lead productive lives, every single day. We ask that the Administration assist us in continuing to gain ground in decarbonization efforts by addressing the regulatory burdens hindering our industry’s progress in the utilization of alternative fuels, the development of lower-carbon cements, and the implementation of essential carbon capture technology.”
