ACC presents at the 16th Coaltrans USA Conference

On January 29th, 2016, Jason Hayes, Associate Director of the American Coal Council took part in the US Energy Panel at the 16th Annual Coaltrans USA Conference in Miami. The panel discussed "How reliable will the provision of electricity be following the EPA Clean Power Plan?"

Jason was joined on the panel by 

•  Josh Zive, Bracewell Giuliani

•  Holly Bender, Deputy Director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign

•  Andrew Wheeler, FaegreBD Consulting

The discussion was lively and covered a mix of issues including the future of the American coal industry, climate change policy, and the impacts and costs of Obama administration regulations on energy production. SNL Energy reporter Taylor Kuykendall’s Storify story on his coverage of the Coaltrans 2016 event provides a detailed blow-by-blow of the panel for those who would like to better understand the panel’s conversation.

The ACC recognizes the importance of an open discussion of key regulatory issues such as these and welcomes the opportunity to meet and network with fellow energy industry professionals.
