October 6, 2009 Apple Resigns From U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Associated Press http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/06/business/energy-environment/06apple.html?ref=technology&pagewanted=print Apple has become the latest company to resign from the United States Chamber of Commerce over climate policy. Three large electric utilities resigned from the chamber in recent weeks for the same reason. The chamber has been critical of efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate the greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. “We strongly object to the chamber’s recent comments opposing the E.P.A.’s effort to limit greenhouse gases,” wrote Catherine A. Novelli, the vice president of worldwide government affairs at Apple, in a letter to the chamber on Monday. The resignation was effective immediately. -- ================================ George Antunes, Political Science Dept University of Houston; Houston, TX 77204 Voice: 713-743-3923 Fax: 713-743-3927 Mail: antunes at uh dot edu *********************************** * POST TO [email protected] * *********************************** Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
