Partnership For Responsible Growth Inc

PARTNERSHIP FOR RESPONSIBLE GROWTH, INC, IS ORGANIZED TO DEVELOP AND PROMOTE LESS BURDENSOME FREE MARKET STRATEGIES FOR REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS WHICH, IF ADOPTED BY THE UNITED STATES AND ITS MAJOR TRADING PARTNERS WOULD DRAMATICALLY SLOW GLOBAL WARMING.

ACHIEVED: WIDE AGREEMENT AMONG DIVERGENT INTEREST GROUPS ABOUT THE GENERAL OUTLINES OF WHAT A SUCCESSFUL CARBON FEE STRUCTURE SHOULD INCLUDE. HIGHLIGHTED THOSE AREAS WHERE THERE IS NOT YET THAT CONSENSUS.

EDUCATION OF OPINION LEADERS ABOUT THE POLICY MERITS OF A REVENUE NEUTRAL FEE ON CARBON EMISSIONS. ACHIEVED: STRONG CONSENSUS THAT A CARBON FEE IS BETTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE THAN EXISTING AND PROPOSALS TO REGULATORY APPROACHES TO DEALING WITH GLOBAL WARMING

ACHIEVED: GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT WE ALL LIKE AND RESPECT EACH OTHER, APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OTHER GROUPS ARE MAKING AND AGREE THAT THE DIFFERENCES IN POLICY PRESCRIPTIONS EACH OF US ADVOCATE ARE MINOR AND SUBJECT TO LATER RECONCILIATION
