As the November election drew closer, Babst Calland’s Kevin Garber and Jean Mosites joined Hart Energy to analyze the stance of major party candidates on key environmental issues and what the oil and gas industry can anticipate, depending on the victors.
Despite the “night and day difference” between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden on energy and environmental policies, the attorneys said oil and gas executives needed to focus their attention beyond the presidential race.
“Looking at the real local level, there are task forces, there are climate plans, there are initiatives for electric vehicles and renewables and building codes whether you can or cannot have gas hookup in new construction,” said Jean Mosites, a Babst Calland shareholder who practices environmental law. “A lot of interesting things are going on and certainly not just federal.”
