Time: 12:00 p.m. MST

Join us for the first in our new series of web conferences on the state of U.S. energy policy. We’ll provide a quick rundown and analysis of the latest comings and goings in federal and state energy policy. We’ve designed the series to help busy corporate energy managers stay abreast of the high-impact energy-policy machinations that don’t make the daily news. We’ll cover anything being discussed on Capitol Hill or at the state level that could affect:

• Energy prices
• Reliability
• Energy-efficiency research and development
• Utility fuel mix
• Renewables
• Carbon regulation

We’ll give our expert opinion about the likelihood of regulations passing and their potential impacts. Whether you regularly track policy or are a casual observer, this web conference is for you.
