could mean for Indiana businesses.
Six panelists will take part in a panel discussion and networking event at the
Columbia Club in downtown Indianapolis. They’ll discuss how the climate bill would affect business operations, how businesses
can reduce their risks and related topics.
Speakers will include an official from the state Office of Energy Development,
who will discuss Indiana’s energy-efficiency programs for businesses and not-for-profits.
The bill now before Congress
would cap emissions from major industrial sources, including power plants, factories, refineries and electricity and natural-gas
distributors.
The Indiana Manufacturers Association estimates the proposed American Clean Energy and Security Act
of 2009 could lead to statewide losses of 59,260 jobs, residential electricity price increases of up to 60 percent and gasoline
price hikes of up to 26 percent.
Jesse Kharbanda, executive director of the Hoosier Environmental Council, will
moderate the event. To register, visit gbn.myhomegreenpages.com.
