What is the biomass agenda on Capitol Hill? Jim Bertrand, who chairs our Energy practice, will engage a panel of industry leaders to find out who and what is driving federal biomass legislation.

Jim anticipates a fast-paced exchange focused on the groups’ multifarious legislative objectives--some aligned, some not--at a time described by panelist Michael McAdams of the Advanced Biofuels Association as “the most complicated and volatile legislative landscape in the past 30 years.”
