Electric Grid Resource Center

Stay informed on the looming power crisis and what our state can do about it.


 

The Problem

Our electric grid is in danger of power shortages by 2030, if not sooner. Electric bills are already rising. Without serious action, blackouts could be next.

The Cause

Demand for electricity is skyrocketing. Reliable sources of supply are dropping. Ill-advised energy policies are causing power plants to shut down.

The Solution

Maintain an all-of-the-above energy mix. Halt the retirement of power plants. Invest and build new infrastructure for reliable sources of generation, including natural gas.
