In August 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the Clean Power Plan, a final rule aimed at reducing carbon emissions from existing U.S. power plants – a rule intended to address the effects of climate change. Backed by President Obama, this rule has proven somewhat controversial, however, as the EPA faces mounting litigation from several U.S. energy producers and states.
Join the University of Chicago Law School, the Alumni Law Society, and the Booth School of Business for an interdisciplinary discussion of the Plan and its potential impact on traditional and clean energy producers, energy prices, and markets.
Mark Templeton, Associate Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the University of Chicago Law School’s Abrams Environmental Law Clinic, will moderate this discussion among UChicago alumni and experts about the biggest energy rule to date in the 21st century, and its potential impact on business and industry.
The panel discussion will highlight:
- Key provisions of the Clean Power Plan (CPP) and the controversy surrounding this rule, including the risk of litigation from states and traditional energy providers;
- Cap and Trade, Carbon Taxation, and the CPP -- their differences, pros and cons;
- The potential impact of the CPP on traditional energy and utility markets and energy prices;
- The economics of utility and energy pricing;
- The clean energy/renewables market and how the CPP could potentially catapult its growth;
- The impact of the CPP on emerging international market development and overall global energy policy
