ENERGY POLICY: House members to explore U.S.-India clean energy ties (10/29/2007) Ben Geman, E&E Daily senior reporter A House panel meets this week to examine U.S. collaboration with India on renewable energy and global warming. The Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and the Global Environment convenes tomorrow to hear from federal officials and the head of a group that seeks to foster U.S.-India business ties. "Given that the U.S. and India depend heavily on fossil fuel imports for their energy needs, we are hopeful to learn how can the U.S. and India work together to support research and development, and deepen our energy collaboration," said Del. Eni Faleomavaega (D-A.S.), the subcommittee chair, in a statement. The hearing is the subcommittee's third this year focusing on climate change and other environmental issues. A session in July focused on the Kyoto Protocol and another in September looked at climate issues surrounding the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation nations. The Bush administration has taken steps to address clean energy in India through forums like the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate. In March, Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman traveled to India to discuss increasing energy ties between the two countries, and the following month the Commerce Department led a clean energy trade mission to India and China. Administration critics say White House opposition to binding emissions cuts is hindering international progress toward steep reductions in heat-trapping gases. Schedule: The subcommittee meets on tomorrow at 2 p.m. in 2172 Rayburn. Witnesses: Reno Harnish, deputy assistant secretary, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, U.S. Department of State; John Mizroch, deputy assistant secretary, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of Energy; John Simon, executive vice president, Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC); Michael Yost, administrator, Foreign Agriculture Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; Sanjay Puri, president and CEO, U.S. India Business Alliance; and Redmond Clark, chairman and CEO, CBL Industrial Services.
