Environmental Law Institute will host a profeessional practices seminar for a debate regarding the U.S. EPA and state regulation of emissions outside the facility fenceline, a critical factor in shaping the regulatory response to climate change using Clean Air Act Section 111.
Whether U.S. EPA and states can regulate emissions outside the facility fenceline is a critical factor in shaping the regulatory response to climate change using Clean Air Act Section 111. There has been much rhetoric about the ability of states and EPA to create regulatory tools such as a emissions trading of greenhouse gasses, but policy experts and professionals need a more definitive answer.
To address this topic, ELI announces its second seminar in a debate format. Loosely following an academic debate structure, two expert teams will argue the resolution, ask questions of the other side, and identify points of agreement and disagreement. Following the debate, the discussion will open to audience questions.
