Champions of Law & Integrity - The Scorched Earth Policy: Environmental Impacts of Energy Law Deregulation

In the next installment of our Champions of Law & Integrity Series, join us as we welcome husband-and-wife environmental law & policy power couple, Tom Jensen, a partner at Perkins Coie, and Sarah Jensen, Senior Policy Advisor and Environmental Protection Specialist at the Department of Energy. Drawing on over 40 years of experience navigating the nation’s largest infrastructure and restoration projects from all sides of the law, our speakers will explore the dangers of a 'scorched earth' approach to deregulation that prioritizes short-term profits over ecological health. By analyzing current rollbacks, we will discuss leveraging legal frameworks to protect our natural resources from a political landscape increasingly hostile to the climate. Shawarmas will be served, with a vegan falafel option available.
