Inside the industry-enviro partnership that scored a big climate win on HFCs
Here's the heretofore untold story of how a coalition of environmentalists and industry partners hashed out agreements on a basic set of policies for regulating super-climate-warming-refrigerants, lined up associates to join them, helped to persuade Republican senators to support bipartisan legislation, and convinced the California Air Resources Board to modify its policies. Now they and other supporters are on the threshold of seeing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency adopt the policies they’ve advocated for. With that EPA decision expected in mid-October, the coalition is achingly close to achieving its goals. It has one last group to win over: building code officials from counties and municipalities all over America.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
