The Costs of Doing Business
 in a Cap-and-Trade World

May 20, 2008
U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Thanks to all who participated in this event the and made it such a great success. 

The Costs of Doing Business in a Cap-and-Trade World focused on the day-to-day compliance issues that all businesses may have to encounter should the “Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act,” or something like it, become law.  For instance, how will carbon trading markets operate?  What new risks must be addressed during mergers and acquisitions?  What are the federal and state taxation issues?
