The Obama transition team has been staffing EPA and DOE, and early 2009 will bring a first look at the new carbon regulation regime and energy policies of the new administration.
At the state level, Rep. Joe Straus is poised to become Speaker of the House with important implications for energy and environmental policy and legislation.
Join us in Austin in February 2009, at the start of the Texas legislative session; speakers include Houston Mayor Bill White, Dr. Manik Roy of the Pew Institute on Global Climate Change, leading energy and environmental experts, state legislators and regulatory officials, power and energy company executives, attorneys, engineers, and the major players in the emerging EOR/sequestration industry.
This program should be of particular interest to the energy and utility sector, with substantial coverage on carbon markets, the emerging technologies and economics of capture, regulation of emissions, storage and transport, along with a special project development panel addressing the financial and legal issues in combined EOR/sequestration projects. The impact of plug-in autos on the power sector, smart grids, and the measurement and benchmarking of carbon footprints will also be covered.
This new major program brings together the expertise and faculties of the Jackson School of Geosciences, the Cockrell School of Engineering, and UT Law School.
If you are a corporate planner, environmental attorney, corporate counsel, engineer, or attorney-advisor for energy, utility, or environmental interests — don't miss this unique opportunity to network with key market participants, legislators and regulatory officials.
