Description
America stands at a crossroads. Electricity demand is skyrocketing, yet, in terms of available resources, the power grid is shrinking. The path to a secure energy future requires more than incremental fixes. It requires decisive reform to ensure the availability of new power plants that provide continuous, affordable electricity for the American people.
Join Heritage to learn about a bold vision for change: a Regulatory Action Plan to ignite a “Big Bang” in power sector development. Following keynote remarks from Deputy Secretary of Energy James Danly, an expert panel will explore strategies to overcome permitting delays, market distortions, and regulatory obstacles that impede the construction of new baseload power plants.
