Overview

Across the political spectrum, there is a growing sense of the need to remove obstacles to energy development. The Trump administration has made “unleashing American energy” a key priority, while liberals like Ezra Klein have sought to promote an “abundance” agenda for energy regulation. Yet many of the key decisions regarding energy policy and energy infrastructure are being made at the state and local level.

Join the R Street Institute as it hosts a panel of experts to discuss how states are tackling these issues and what more can be done to ensure that America can develop the energy resources it needs.
