June 12th Event: Climate Change, Cap-and-Trade, Renewable Electricity and Efficiency Mandates: How Do They Fit Together?
Climate Change, Cap-and-Trade, Renewable Electricity and Efficiency Mandates:
How Do They Fit Together?
|
Congress is writing major climate change legislation that includes a cap-and-trade program as well as renewable electricity and efficiency mandates. Cap-and-trade represents a market-based approach designed to leave choices about least-cost ways of achieving climate-change policy goals to individual producers and consumers. Renewable electricity and efficiency standards prescribe specific approaches. Are these policies consistent with each other? How should they be combined? TPI has assembled a group of experts to discuss these issues.
