climate change policy
Employees of the business of chemistry share their thoughts on sound climate change policy that balances U.S. jobs and environmental protection.
Right now the Administration and Congress are focused on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, creating jobs and helping the economy recover. We think the worst prescription for the environment and the economy would be for EPA to begin regulating GHGs at America’s industrial, commercial and other business facilities—known as “stationary sources”—before Congress has had adequate time to develop a sound emissions reduction policy. That’s a very real possibility if Congress does not postpone EPA regulation of stationary sources.
Our business, the business of chemistry is part of the climate solution. Chemistry products go into many energy-saving and renewable energy applications that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Any legislation to implement a national climate policy, whether it adopts a cap and trade system or some other approach needs to ensure that American business remains competitive in the global economy and that good jobs stay here at home.
