"THE ENERGY DEBATE:  WHAT WILL CAP & TRADE ACCOMPLISH?™" 

At perhaps the most critical juncture in the history of Climate Change and Energy-related legislation in the history of the United State of America, "The Energy Debate: What Will Cap & Trade Accomplish?™" --- a special set of two one-hour programs --- addresses the nation’s need to honestly explore the real impacts of pending Cap & Trade legislation.  Cap & Trade legislation has been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives (the American Clean Energy & Security Act) and is awaiting consideration by the U.S. Senate.  Once a bill is passed in the Senate, it will go to a Conference Committee and then, any resulting changes will need the approval of both chambers.   

Without question, this legislation will change the landscape of the Energy Industry and the U.S. Economy for the next century.  Only a reasoned and informed debate will result in the best possible outcome for the American people.  If allowed to be decided behind the scenes, Americans and the world could suffer for decades --- at great economic and environmental costs. 

This television series meets an immediate need due to (a) the absence of in-depth analyses of the impacts of Cap & Trade proposals and (b) the need to further educate legislators and political activists about the subject.  The programs are nonpartisan and educational in nature.  Their focus will be in three areas: 

Nationally-prominent guests will includes those from the political realm, scientific organizations, energy businesses, elected and other public officials, environmentalists, consumers, the media, trade and labor associations, and other entities involved in this debate. 

Invitations will be extended to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (both of whom already have personally made interview commitments to Aaron Harber, the program’s host) as well as other key Senators, Representatives, and Administration officials along with key environmental, economic, and energy representatives at the highest levels.  Invitations will be sent to prospective guests such as Worldwatch Institute President Chris Flavin, energy expert and author Robert Hefner, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope, and UN Foundation President Tim Wirth.  Many of these people already have been Aaron’s guests and Aaron’s immediate access to these and others is unparalleled. 

A sample of the guests who already have appeared on "The Energy Roundtable" --- a series hosted by Aaron Harber, some of whom will be invited to be guests on “What Will Cap & Trade Accomplish?”, have included…  

To target the nation’s most politically-active citizens, the programs will be offered to all 384 Public Television networks and stations across the country at no cost.  To launch the series and to secure a Presenting Station within the Public Television world, the programs first will be broadcast Colorado Public Television station KBDI-TV Channel 12 in Denver (the 18th largest U.S. media market). They also will be broadcast by COMCAST Entertainment Television, KPXC-TV (ION Media Networks), Denver Open Media (DCTV), and TV Aspen. 

Most importantly, the programs will be available 24/7 worldwide on the Web at www.EnergyUSATV.com.  The shows also may be distributed directly to public officials, regulators, Press members, political activists, and key opinion leaders.  In addition to the above, other guests on Aaron’s weekly program already have included… 

Aaron was graduated by Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs (Economics) and received his graduate degree from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government (Ethics).
