  • Changing Climate: Adapting to New Regulations
    October 24, 2014 White Stag Portland, Oregon #adapt2014 www.cubpolicycenter.org/conference CEUs from the Building Performance Institute (BPI) are pending. The CPC is also seeking 6.75 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, and applications are pending. Dear Participants, WELCOME Thank you for joining us in attending CUB's 4th annual policy conference, Changing Climate: Adapting to New Regulations. The CUB staff has worked hard this year to prepare for this conference, and we hope you find it educational and engaging. Climate change is an issue that needs to be addressed by everyone involved in energy policy. This year the EPA came out with their Clean Power Plan -- 111(d). Since PGE announced their plans to phase out Boardman, utilities across the country have begun to close coal plants in response to clean air regulations. Laws and regulations mandating renewables and energy efficiency are promoted as part of the climate change solution. There is no doubt that many of us will spend a great deal of time in the near future dealing with climate change and regulations that are designed to build cleaner, more sustainable energy systems. CUB is grateful to our sponsors, particularly the University of Oregon, PacifiCorp, Portland General Electric, NW Natural, and the Northwest Power and Conservation Council for their dedicated support of this event. As a small non-profit, CUB would not be able to hold this conference for four consecutive years without the enthusiastic support and partnership of the Pacific Northwest energy community. We also extend our thanks to the presenters and panelists who are bringing their expertise today to share information and facilitate robust conversation.
