Natural Gas: Good, Bad, or Indifferent? Regulatory Lessons from France and the U.S.

Reception begins at 5:30

With

Max Falque
International Center for Research on Environmental Issues
Paris, France

William Yeatman
Competitive Enterprise Institute
Washington, DC

Natural gas has been a test case for environmental politics. Once seen as a low carbon solution to fight global greenhouse gas emissions, new supply discoveries and technological progress have now triggered fierce environmentalist opposition. Max Falque will explain how bad laws and perverse regulation have prevented important opportunities to bring abundant energy to the French people. CEI’s William Yeatman will uncover the fundamental economics, politics and policy issues at work behind the lively and current U.S. debate over the future of natural gas regulation.
