By Karen Harbert, President and CEO, Global Energy Institute The Clean Power Plan was the wrong answer to a real concern. To be clear, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce believes that the climate is changing, and that man is contributing to these changes. We also believe that technology and innovation, rather than sweeping federal mandates, offer the best approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
