The Atlantic Council Program on Energy and the Environment convened a one-day workshop on October 26, 2009, “Perspectives on a Realistic United States Electric Power Generation Portfolio: 2010 to 2050,” to address the challenge of transitioning the United States’ (US) energy industry into a more secure and sustainable structure and to better understand the wide variation in projections and outlooks regarding future domestic energy needs. The workshop tackled one of the major issues of our day-how a realistic electricity generation portfolio can evolve over the next four decades in such a way as to protect the US’s energy, national, economic and environmental security.
