Will we have enough power to meet our needs and grow our economy?
Demand for electricity in America is growing. According to the Energy Information Agency, the U.S. will need 30% more electricity by 2030 to power our homes and businesses.
Rick Sergel, CEO of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation told the Los Angeles Times, "We're very close to the edge. We operate under tight conditions more often than ever. We need action in the next year or two to start on the path to having enough electricity 10 years from now."
America needs a plan. Elected officials need to work with the electric utility industry to develop a roadmap to ensure we can generate enough power to meet our needs over the next ten years.
