Last chance to register! Ted Halstead Climate Conversation Series Ensuring Grid Reliability in the Clean Energy Transition (Virtual) Wednesday, March 16, 2022 11:00am – 12:00pm ET Register Here Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and duration, placing unprecedented strains on the U.S. electric grid and power systems. At the same time, rapid decarbonization as we switch to new energy sources can also create challenges to grid reliability. When the grid fails, the human and economic toll can be staggering, amplifying the already-high costs associated with climate change. Join the Climate Leadership Council for a briefing on a new report from former FERC Chairman Neil Chatterjee and Council CEO Greg Bertelsen that details how carbon pricing can help ensure that all Americans have access to reliable electricity as we transition to a low-carbon economy. Senator John Hickenlooper (D-CO) will provide a view from Congress, and Vistra Corp. CEO Curt Morgan will discuss how to achieve a clean and reliable energy grid.
