The House of Representatives passed their landmark climate and energy bill in the summer of 2009, but action in the Senate has stalled since a bill was introduced by Senators Kerry and Boxer in November. As you may know, there are now multiple proposals on the table: Senators Kerry, Graham, and Lieberman are working to craft a compromise bill, Senators Collins and Cantwell have proposed their own climate bill, and some Senators suggest passing an energy-only bill. What is the optimal solution for the clean energy industry? Which is best for the environment? Which is most likely to pass? Can the industry impact the debate?
Join us on the webinar as we discuss the answers to these important questions with a focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy issues. A Congressional representative along with industry experts will present our webinar and answer your questions.
