Panel: Power and Production: Keeping Electricity Prices Down and the U.S. Economy Running
On the evening of Tuesday, November 4th, we invite you to join us for a public panel, cohosted by C2ES, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and the Georgia Tech Strategic Energy Institute on Power and Production: Keeping Electricity Prices Down and the U.S. Economy Running. The panel will start at 4 pm with a reception to follow at 5 pm.
For two decades, power demand in the US was essentially flat. It is now growing quickly again, as the country builds AI data centers, switches to EVs and electric heaters, seeks to revive domestic manufacturing, and turns up the AC to keep cool as temperatures rise.
How can the United States keep the AC running, the lights on, and the prices down? What is the proper role for renewables and storage–the fastest growing energy sources in the country–at a time when the supply chain for gas power is snarled and blocked? And finally, how can we ensure a domestic, secure, resilient supply chain to produce all of these energy solutions here in the United States?
Speakers for the event include:
- Noah Gordon, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
- Leonardo Martinez-Diaz, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
- Christine Conwell, Georgia Tech Strategic Energy Institute
- Stephanie Gagnon-Rodriguez, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions
Additional speakers will include community and business representatives.
