Obama's Role in the Electric Power Sector
National Journal - Newseum
National Journal discusses the new energy economics: how technology and innovation is powering our economy.
In 2012, the Obama Administration laid out a blueprint for a new era of American energy - an economy fueled by energy sources that will be designed in America and produced by American workers. In the energy sector, creating jobs and strengthening the economy means reducing the cost of production and encouraging research and development on a wide spectrum of energy sources: wind, solar, hydropower, nuclear, along with coal, oil and natural gas. Breakthroughs in technology are helping the industry to be smarter, safer and more affordable. While the debate on how to reduce the cost associated with implementing energy policies, increasing efficiency, and achieving environmental goals is ongoing, new advancements in energy can accelerate economic growth.
How much can new energy technologies contribute to our economy and energy security? Can we simultaneously meet society's goals of economic growth, security, and promote an all of the above approach to energy sources? Join National Journal and The Atlantic to discuss the broad range of advancements in the energy industry and the effect they have on economic growth in America.
