NAFA Participates in Congressional Climate Change Briefing

On April 29, 2010, NAFA participated in an Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) congressional briefing to examine the potential effects of pending energy and climate legislation on the transportation sector and U.S. dependence on oil. This briefing focused on the economic and environmental implications of alternative ways to reduce oil use and greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector and how key stakeholders are likely to respond. Speakers for this event included Patrick O'Connor, NAFA's U.S. Legislative Counsel.  Additional information on the briefing, including the presentations and audio recording, is available at http://www.eesi.org/reducing-oil-dependence-through-energy-and-climate-policy-29-apr-2010.
