TVA energy expert Dr. Lorna A. Greening will explore options for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions at a lecture entitled "Carbon Policy,
Technology Policy and Carbon Markets: Is There a Silver Bullet?" on
Wednesday, February 24, 3:30 p.m. in the Raccoon Mountain Room of the
University Center. The event is free and open to the public.

Strategies for reducing GHG's might include carbon taxes; regulation;
technology policies such as energy efficiency, alternative fuels, and
carbon sequestration; or carbon markets.  Each approach has been used in
the United States or elsewhere in the world for GHG reduction or other
environmental issues with varying degrees of success.  

The discussion will review the national and international experience
with each of the approaches, and compare and contrast their
effectiveness, economic efficiency, and appropriateness to address
climate change.  

Greening has over 20 years experience on energy markets, international
and domestic greenhouse gas policy, regulation, registries, market
solutions, and corporate risk management.  She is an energy and natural
resource economist with experience in consulting, the US national
laboratory system, academia, and the public utility industry. Greening
currently works for the Tennessee Valley Authority on economic issues of
energy and the environment.
