Stoel Rives is pleased to host December's ABA nationally teleconferenced seminar, "State and Federal Green House Gas Regulation: Current Status, Outlook, and Implications for Renewable Energy," in our Portland, Boise and Sacramento offices on December 13.
The growing recognition of climate change as a subject of the gravest concern is leading to action across the country. New York State recently issued its rule for implementing the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), the Northeastern states' mandatory green house gas cap regime. California recently enacted A.B. 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. Dozens of climate change related bills have been introduced in Congress and the Senate has gathered hundreds of comments and held extensive hearings on the subject. The design of any carbon cap program can have a profound impact on the growth of renewables. This expert panel will review the current status of green house gas regulation in New York State, California and at the federal level and discuss how such regulation can serve to foster or discourage the development of renewable energy.

Expert national panel:
Moderators:
Edna Sussman, Hoguet Newman & Regal LLP (live in New York)
Richard Saines, Baker & McKenzie LLP (live in New York)

Our expert panel includes:

Assemblymember Fran Pavley, California 41st Assembly District (live in Los Angeles)

Franz Litz, Climate Change Policy Coordinator, New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation (live in New York)

Michael Goo, Democratic Counsel, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (live in Washington, DC)


Key topics to be discussed:

NYS: New rule implementing the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
California: New Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006
Congress: Green House Gas legislation status on the hill
Analysis: Potential impact of green house gas regime design on growth of renewables
