America has an electricity affordability problem: despite super-cheap solar and abundant natural gas, the sheer demands of maintaining aging electrical poles and wires through increasingly extreme weather have pushed costs higher year after year. Tariffs, trade wars, and the potential repeal of clean-energy tax credits could make matters even worse.
Canary Media’s Julian Spector will interview a panel of experts to talk about the most promising solutions to the electricity affordability crisis, from building cheap, clean energy and harnessing the power of distributed energy resources, to modernizing the ways utilities charge their customers.

Jesse Buchsbaum, Fellow, Resources for the Future
Charles Hua, Founder and Executive Director, Powerlines
Sapna Gheewala-Dowla, Associate Vice President of Policy and Research, Alliance to Save Energy
Julian Spector, Senior Reporter, Canary Media (Moderator)
