Subjects covered included the complexities of the interacting systems that power the economy; the importance of energy transmission systems; maintaining diverse energy supply sources, including fossil fuels, during the transition to an economy relying more on electricity; the need for a speedier permit process to get energy infrastructure —including renewable energy sources — online; keeping energy affordable; how to decarbonize the economy while keeping it healthy and growing; and avoiding energy policies that discourage innovation because it is unclear today what technology could prove crucial tomorrow.
