From the Wonk Room.
The House Natural Resources Committee is holding a field hearing
today
“to discuss the responsible expansion of solar
energy
in California and across the nation” at the University of California,
Riverside Palm Desert Graduate Center.
The New York Times discusses the Intervale Green complex, a “new,
green, low-income housing
development”
by the Women’s Housing and Economic Development
Corporation with 128 units, “a large,
glass-windowed lobby, two green roofs and a sculpture-filled courtyard.”
Rep. John
Shimkus
(R-IL), Heritage
Foundation,
Americans for Tax
Reform, and local
op-eds in North
Carolina
and Louisiana
repeated the “just
wrong”
lie that an MIT study found cap and trade is a
$3100 tax.
Join us to learn about the technologies, practices, and processes that
will be instrumental to infrastructure and economic renewal.

vital element of a carbon solution. Furthermore, given increasing
interest in building performance as part of a new wave of policies and
programs, Kathleen will also discuss the EPA’s
leading role in building performance initiatives, including programs
