A Resources for the Future/Electric Power Research Institute Seminar: What Do Stakeholders Have to Say to EPA about the Clean Power Plan? An Expert Forum on New Formal Comments
Subject:
How might two important elements of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan—the proposed federal plan and model trading rules—be improved before being finalized by the agency? Recently, stakeholders had the opportunity to provide public comments to EPA on how the federal government can best chart a course that will help the states to effectively and efficiently implement the agency’s carbon dioxide emissions guidelines for power plants.
