Join RealClearPolitics on Friday, March 29th for an informative discussion on the future of the grid.
The U.S. electric grid that makes modern life possible is undergoing a rapid transformation. It powers, cools, and heats our homes; supports operations at the nation's industrial plants and office buildings; and allows schools, hospitals, and military bases to function. Baseload coal and nuclear power plants - long the foundation of the nation's electricity mix - are closing and being replaced by wind, solar, and natural gas generation. The grid is shifting from a mix of always-on, fuel-secure sources of power, to greater reliance on intermittent sources of generation and ever-growing network of pipelines. What are the policies driving this shift? How concerned should Americans be at how this transformation is being managed? Are we on the precipice of a self-imposed energy crisis? Our panel of experts will address these questions and dig into a policy debate at the very heart of America's energy, environmental and economic future.
Event Speakers:
- Secretary Rick Perry, U.S. Department of Energy
- Congressman David McKinley (R-WV), House Committee on Energy & Commerce
- Charles McConnell, Executive Director, Carbon Management & Energy Sustainability, UH Energy, Chancellor/President's Division, University of Houston
