  • Review CLE Materials for This Panel
    A PATH FORWARD ON ENERGY POLICY October 27, 2015 CLE Materials PARTISANSHIP AND ENERGY POLICY South Carolina Republican Bob Inglis served six terms in the House and, after two trips to Antarctica to meet with climate scientists, became a vocal proponent of carbon pricing, a rarity in his party. After losing the 2010 primary to a Tea Party challenger, Inglis founded the Energy & Enterprise Initiative at George Mason University, which promotes “conservative solutions to America’s energy and climate challenges.” In conversation with Wall Street Journal reporter, Amy Harder, Inglis will provide a unique perspective on how to craft sensible energy policy in a time of bitter partisanship. 1. Energy Partisanship 2. Interest Groups and Environmental Policy: Inconsistent Positions and Missed Opportunities 3. Bob Inglis: Climate Change and the Republican Party 4. This Man Is America’s Best Hope for Near-Term Climate Action ENERGY PARTISANSHIP Hari M. Osofsky* and Jacqueline Peel** Forthcoming in Emory Law Journal (2016) Whether the topic is greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the Keystone XL Pipeline, hydraulic fracturing, offshore drilling, or renewable energy, much of the U.S. policy dialogue about energy and climate change is deeply partisan. Republicans and Democrats debate individual issues in vitriolic sound bites that indicate minimal common ground. For example, those favoring robust action on climate change are charged with engaging in a “War on Coal.” Those opposed are labeled “members of the Flat Earth Society.” Set against these dysfunctional climate and energy politics, how can progress be made? For those that accept the science of climate change, this has become a critical question.
