The First 300 Days: An Assessment of Obama's Energy and Climate Policy
Thursday, Sept. 3, 7:00pm
Wolf Law Building
Wittemyer Courtroom
Free and open to the public
Directions: www.colorado.edu/law/about/visitus.htm
The Obama Administration has identified energy as one of its top policy concerns, with a focus on promoting clean, renewable energy and addressing climate change. During the first months of the new Administration we have seen a departure from the previous Administration’s policies on EPA regulation of CO2, cap and trade legislation, climate change, and renewable energy, among others. Please join the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI – formerly the CU-Boulder Energy Initiative) and our panel of policy experts as we assess the accomplishments of the Obama Administration in its first 300 (or so) days.
