Description

As national politics grow more polarized, state legislatures are quietly emerging as some of the most effective arenas for advancing pragmatic energy and environmental policy. Set against a day focused on energy strategy and cross-aisle dialogue, this conversation brings together bipartisan state leaders to explore where real progress is happening—across sustainability, climate, and infrastructure—and how states are forging workable paths forward. From nuclear and grid buildout to land, water, and resource management, the discussion will highlight opportunities for bipartisan wins and examine how state-level leadership can move faster—and more collaboratively—than Washington.
