As Nation Renews Focus on Climate Action,
a Look Back at Clean Energy Economy Forum with
Carol Browner, Assistant to President for
Energy & Climate Change
Greetings!
With the US Senate's climate action bill taking
shape, the EPA's move last week to regulate greenhouse gases, and major
companies like Apple and Nike rejecting the US Chamber of Commerce's stance on climate
action, the shift continues toward America's clean energy future.
 Late this summer, CTLCV was at the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington for a clean energy panel discussion with Congressman Chris Murphy and Carol Browner, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change.
The meeting focused on the promise that green energy advancements hold for our environment and economy.
 Joining Browner and Murphy were representatives from Connecticut-based renewable energy businesses, including Apollo Solar (Bethel), FuelCell Energy (Danbury and Torrington), Duracell (Bethel) and Optiwind (Torrington).
The
nearly two-hour meeting covered stimulus investments in energy, the US
House bill on climate change (ACES), transmission issues for renewable
energy, smart meters, energy efficiency rules for appliances,
initiatives of some of Connecticut's renewable energy businesses, and
more.
