WSJ CEO Council:
How to Build Global Prosperity - Energy and the Environment
After decades
of drifting, the U.S. is moving toward a more-coherent energy policy.
For the energy industry, that is both a boon and a threat. The broad
goals of any new legislation and regulation are clear enough: to cushion
the volatility of energy prices and curb greenhouse-gas emissions.

EPA Issues
Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule; Monitoring To Begin January 1,
2010
By Svend Brandt-Erichsen, Marten
Law Group
On September
22, 2009, EPA released final regulations that require approximately
10,000 facilities to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
annually. Covered facilities must begin monitoring January 1, 2010, and
file their first annual reports by March 31, 2011. The reporting rule
generally applies to facilities that emit more than 25,000 tons of GHG a
year, although some sources with lower emissions also will be subject to
the rule. EPA estimates that the reporting rule will cover about 85
percent of GHG emissions in the United States.
