FREE Panel Discussion and Networking event: Greenhouse Gas Legislation: Will your Business Survive in a Cap and Trade World?

The House of Representatives just passed the landmark Waxman Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act. This landmark bill is expected to create new jobs, increase national security by reducing dependence on foreign oil, and preserve the planet by reducing the pollution that causes global warming.

Many companies are currently wrestling with the unknowns associated with this rapidly changing area and need information in order to effectively prepare for the future. According to some estimates, the Waxman‐Markey legislation would more than double electricity bills in Indiana and might negatively impact Hoosier businesses profitability and competitiveness. This is why the Green Business Network, is pleased to present the Second panel discussion and networking event in Green Business Networking Series on September 3rd, 2009 at the Indianapolis Columbia Club. The topic of this event is Greenhouse Gas Legislation: Will your business survive in a Cap and Trade World.
