Electric Power, CO2 Controls and the Tough Choices Ahead
Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Richard W. Knoebel
Sargent & Lundy
About the Topic
The presentation will provide a brief discussion of CO2 and the
control proposals which have been floating through the US congress.
Several of the main issues that are involved in the effort to achieve
the controlled CO2 emissions levels are investigated to evaluate how
realistic some of the potential actions will be in achieving their
targets. The presentation also looks at some of the economy wide
actions and provides a high level assessment of how these actions will
affect the electric power industry and peoples' lives.
