The panel will examine several issues facing the country as two powerful forces seem to be at odds. How much power infrastructure do we need to build to decarbonize and meet growing data center and other power demand, and can it be done? Do well-intended laws and processes enacted over the last 50 years even allow large scale infrastructure development anymore? Can the development be done consistent with societal environmental and labor standards?
