Power and Production: Keeping Electricity Prices Down and the U.S. Economy Running

​On November 4th, Join the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, and the Georgia Tech Strategic Energy Institute for a panel discussion on Power and Production: Keeping Electricity Prices Down and the U.S. Economy Running. This 45 minute panel discussion will be followed by audience Q&A and a reception.

​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.
