Chairman’s Quote Regarding Climate Change:
“The unique challenge of climate change is that it requires action now on a problem that will affect our grandchildren far more than it will affect us. With the right framework, and an appropriate focus on the development and deployment of key technologies, we can address this problem and even create unique opportunities within our society. If the business and environmental communities can work constructively and proactively together, we can tackle this enormous problem in a way that achieves meaningful greenhouse gas reductions while minimizing negative impacts to the U.S. economy.”
