Duane Morris Partner Sheila Hollis to Moderate Panel on "Developing and Sustaining an 'All-of-the-Above' National Energy Policy"

Duane Morris partner Sheila Hollis will be moderating a plenary session on "Developing and Sustaining an 'All-of-the-Above' National Energy Policy" at the American Bar Association's (ABA) Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources' 20th Section Fall Meeting on Friday, October 12, 2012, in Austin, Texas.
In his State of the Union address, President Obama called for an "all-out, all-of-the above" energy strategy. Despite Congress's enactment of significant energy legislation over the past decade, substantial uncertainty remains in our national energy policy. Do we intend to reduce our reliance on coal and other fossil fuels? Will environmental regulations and/or competition from natural gas drive a significant number of existing coal-fired plants out of business? Will federal financial incentives for renewables be extended and made more predictable? Can new transmission and pipeline facilities be successfully sited within a reasonable period of time? Will we ever have a long-term solution for nuclear waste materials? This roundtable discussion will examine these and other questions and provide advice on creating a clear and consistent "all-of-the above" national energy policy.
