The Energy Council convened its 2010 Federal Energy & Environmental Matters Conference at the Madison Hotel in Washington D.C. on March 4-6, in a joint gathering with the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) and the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region. On Saturday, March 6, conferees heard a report from the NARUC-administered Study Group on findings of its almost 2-year-long, $300 thousand study to determine the social, economic and environmental costs of continuing a national policy that restricts access to energy resources on Federal lands. Commissioner Emeritus Dave Harbour moderated the Moratoria Study Group panel that included Rick Irby of SAIC, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commissioner Dan Seamount, Texas Railroad Commissioner Victor Carrillo and Consumer Energy Alliance - Southeast Executive Director Michael Whatley. Harbour participated via teleconference and introduced the project with this video clip. Commissioner Carrillo participated with a statement delivered by Commissioner Seamount.
