Last week I spoke at a Law Seminars International conference in Seattle on Climate Change in the West. My talk covered dormant commerce clause and federal preemption issues as they relate to state climate policy design, which is now the main path for policy progress under the Trump Administration.
I really enjoyed the chance to talk about western energy and climate policy issues with non-California stakeholders, as well as to meet a number of energy lawyers whose work I've respected for years. Thanks to conference organizers Kevin Poloncarz and Craig Gannett for the invitation, as well as to the excellent LSI staff for their help making the event successful.
