Greenhouse Gas Regulation: What's Happened, What's Next?
(September 2010; 64 pages) Robert B. McKinstry Jr., Brendan K.
Collins, and Jennifer E. Drust, attorneys with Ballard Spahr LLP,
maintain comprehensive regulation of greenhouse gas emissions will
occur regardless of whether Congress acts. They say regulatory
actions by the Environmental Protection Agency, guidance from the
White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, efforts by many states, and potential legal
liabilities all will put a price on carbon dioxide emissions,
creating business risks and opportunities that should play a part
in corporate and governmental planning. In addition, six BNA
reporters provide updates on the development of GHG regulations.
