What impact will the Supreme Court's recent stay action have on the Clean Power Plan and other COP21 initiatives? Where do U.S. energy producers, utilities and states stand in implementing or challenging the regulation?
Join the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC), the University of Chicago Alumni Law Society and the Booth School of Business Energy Network for an interdisciplinary discussion on the Plan and its potential impacts on energy producers, prices, markets and the environment.
The panel discussion will highlight:
- Key provisions of the Clean Power Plan (CPP) and the controversy surrounding this rule, including the recent stay ordered by the Supreme Court of the United States;
- Cap-and-Trade, Carbon Taxation, and the CPP -- their differences, pros and cons, and the best solution for reducing carbon emissions;
- The potential impact of the CPP on traditional energy markets and energy prices (if upheld);
- The clean energy market and how the CPP could potentially catapult its growth (if upheld);
- The impact of the judicial stay on COP21 commitments and global diplomatic relations, environmental law regulations, and future U.S. energy policies
