A modernized grid not only ensures we can connect new renewable energy sources to communities across the country, but also helps us meet rising energy demand reliably and affordably. Transmission reform is a key step to meet our climate goals and ensure a just transition to a clean energy economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We invited a panel of speakers to explore how we need to rethink electricity transmission to create a future with a livable climate, a reliable grid, and affordable energy.
