Energy Policy in the Trump Administration Webinar Series – Session 1: Congress and Tax Reform
The election of President Donald Trump and Republican-held majorities in the House and Senate have far reaching effects on every aspect of the energy industry. The President campaigned on the proposition of unleashing American energy dominance and has announced sweeping policy and personnel changes across numerous energy-focused federal agencies. Congress is pursuing an aggressive tax reform agenda that will fundamentally affect energy and domestic manufacturing. Federal involvement in domestic energy development, production, transmission, and distribution is at the center of political focus in Washington, D.C., right now.
The K&L Gates Energy Policy team is hosting a series of seven webinars over the next two months to discuss the changes in federal energy policy and their effects on each sector of the energy industry. Our policy lawyers will summarize the state of play for executive orders, environmental regulations, permitting reforms, federal support for emerging technologies, energy tax incentive structures, and more.
Our speakers will be focusing on Energy Policy in the 119th Congress and explaining the budget reconciliation process and summarize the status of tax reform efforts in Congress, specifically as they relate to clean energy and manufacturing tax incentives. Partners from our Washington, D.C., Public Policy and Law practice will offer their insights on the Congressional state-of-play and provide an overview of what the energy industry should expect as Congress moves forward with its agenda-setting legislation.
