The Economics of Climate and Energy Policy
What You Will Learn
The Economics of Climate and Energy Policy
Many estimates have been floated for the aggregate cost to the U.S. economy of likely federal climate and energy regimes, and they differ by orders of magnitude. The analysis is complicated by uncertainty as to the content and timing of federal climate and energy legislation and EPA regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. Find out the real drivers behind these estimates and the likely costs and benefits to particular industries and regions. AND get a deeper understanding of the economics of climate regulation and the future economic landscape.
Our speakers will address the following topics, among others:
Impacts on the U.S. economy of federal climate and energy legislation, based on a review of recent modeling studies (many in connection with Waxman-Markey)
Impacts of the proposed cap and trade scheme on particular industries and regions, and the effect of allowance allocation proposals
Competitiveness impacts on trade-exposed, carbon-intensive industries
Economic impacts on key industries of proposed EPA GHG emission regulations
Anticipated impacts of proposed federal and state renewable portfolio/renewable energy standards
Impacts of clean energy subsidies in various industries and benefits of current and proposed policies
Estimated impacts of proposed legislation on electricity costs in different regions of the U.S.
THE SERIES
This program is the last in a 13-part series, "Understanding the New Climate and Energy Legal Landscape," that explains the real world impact of the fast moving developments surrounding climate and energy, demystifies the key provisions and negotiating points left before Congress, and uncovers the potential windfalls and pitfalls of this highly complex restructuring of environmental and energy law. Each program is taught by those helping to craft this new regulatory regime and those examining it with a critical eye so you can understand what this new landscape will mean for clients and for your future practice. Earlier parts of the series are available on-demand.
