Addressing Global Warming Through Innovative Energy Policy and Business Participation

Scott Secrest will be speaking on ideas for innovative climate and energy policy.  The current global recession and looming threat of global warming together present a historic opportunity for U.S. businesses.  The governmental and business actions that are needed to restore our global economy are the same steps that are required to address the climate crisis.

A rapid and efficient transition to a 21st century, low-carbon economy will create new jobs and stimulate economic growth, while putting us on the path to curbing global warming.

Businesses need a vibrant economy with certainties regarding meaningful energy and climate regulation, incentives for innovation and public investment in renewable technologies and green jobs.
