Clean Power Plan Forum

6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Bloomington City Council Chambers, 401 N. Morton St., Bloomington
http://facebook.com/sustainbtown

Clean Power Plan Forum
Acting Assistant Administrator Janet McCabe with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other expert panelists will discuss the Clean Power Plan and what it means for Hoosiers. EPA’s Clean Power Plan is a domestic program to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector, the largest source of carbon pollution in the United States. Advocates say it will help turn back the effects of global warming, while detractors say it will hurt the Indiana economy. Learn the facts from esteemed panelists, featuring:
• Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air & Radiation (OAR), where she leads the agency’s Clean Air Act programs to reduce air pollution that threatens public health and the environment.
• Jesse Kharbanda, executive director of the Hoosier Environmental Council, focused on education and advocacy around environmental issues and policies.
• Mark Maassel, president of the Indiana Energy Association, which represents the interests of Indiana’s energy utilities
• Ken Richards, professor of environmental economics, Indiana University School of Public & Environmental Affairs
The Herald-Times Editor Bob Zaltsberg will moderate the discussion. This event is free and open to the public.
The event and panelists are sponsored by the Monroe County’s Environmental Quality & Sustainability Commission, the Monroe County Energy Challenge, and the Monroe County Commissioners.
