Claudine Schneider

Claudine Schneider served in the US Congress from 1980-1990. As a member of the Science, Research and Technology Committee, Representative Schneider’s legislative priorities included finding cost effective methods of addressing environmental and energy concerns. She is the original author of the Global Warming Prevention Act, a comprehensive piece of legislation co-sponsored by 100 Members of Congress. This bill established a least-cost energy planning process throughout the federal government that would reduce global greenhouse gases while reducing energy costs to taxpayers. She is also the author of the Energy Efficiency Technology Act, Least Cost Utility Planning Act and numerous energy-related amendments that have become law.

Today, Claudine is the Senior Vice President of Econergy International Corporation, a multi-service firm that provides technical advisory and asset management services in the energy industry. Econergy provides sustainable design, engineering, financial and policy support to clients, and as the designers of the Prototype Carbon Fund for the World Bank, Econergy has literally helped invent the discipline of carbon management, specializing in this arena since its inception. EIC has offices in Mexico City, Brazil, Washington, D.C. and a headquarters in Boulder Colorado, where Ms. Schneider is based.
