Climate change conference in Washington, DC
Next week, the Heartland Institute will host its Third International Conference on Climate Change; June 2nd in Washington, DC.
The Ayn Rand Institute is a co-sponsor.
The event follows closely on the heels of a previous conference, which took place in New York City in March (see here and here)–but the new conference couldn’t be more timely. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce just approved a comprehensive climate and energy bill, the Waxman-Markey “American Clean Energy and Security Act,” which would impose energy impoverishment in a variety of ways: forced energy conservation programs, a cap-and-trade system rationing U.S. carbon emissions, a renewable energy mandate forcing us to use expensive, impractical forms of energy, and more.
The event is intended to acquaint Congressional staff with the views of scientists and economists who oppose green climate and energy policies. Hopefully, it will help inject a measure of reason into the Congressional debate before the bill comes up for a vote.In any event, I will be there and will have lots to report after the conference. Stay tuned.
