Sheila Hollis, Leading Washington, D.C. Energy Attorney and DU Law Alum, Talks About U.S. Climate Legislation

Sheila Hollis, chair of the Washington, D.C. office of Duane Morris and graduate of the DU College of Law, was interviewed earlier this week about the status of climate legislation in the U.S. Congress.

The interview, "Duane Morris' Sheila Hollis Previews Difficult Climb to 60 in the Senate," was part of E&E TV's continuing coverage of major environmental and energy issues.  The program features experts, such as Ms. Hollis, talking about the most important issues before Congress.

Ms. Hollis has received multiple awards including recently being named as one of the 50 Key Women in Energy worldwide.   She was also a finalist for Lifetime Achievement in Energy in Platt's Global Energy Awards, an honor made even more noteworthy since she is the first attorney in private practice to be nominated for the award. In 2001-2002 Ms. Hollis chaired the Section of Environment, Energy and Resources of the American Bar Association.  In 2007 she was recognized by the college of law as an outstanding graduate.

Anyone -- lawyers, law students, graduate students, engineers, accountants, industry leaders, etc. -- interested in climate legislation should watch this video.  Ms. Hollis' observations about, among other things, the distribution of allowances made in the Waxman-Markey energy bill, which passed the House several weeks ago, as well as the "tariffs issue" that has arisen are extremely useful. 

As I have said before, there is no substitute for learning from the experts.  Sheila Hollis is definitely one of the best in the energy law field.
