Fed: Energy industry needs to face up to greenhouse gases

An international climate change expert says the energy industry needs to take its obligation
to the environment seriously or face hostile industry controls.

The President of the American Pew Centre on Global Climate Change, EILEEN CLAUSSEN
says government, industry and environmentalists must work together to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions from coal generation.

Ms CLAUSSEN's told an energy conference in Sydney that the industry faces severe and
less business-friendly controls if it fails to take its environmental obligations seriously.
