After about 20 years of scant growth, U.S. electricity demand is expected to grow about 15-20% in the next decade and double by 2050, according to the Department of Energy.

This meeting, which was organized by the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability’s Precourt Institute for Energy, has resulted in a report focused on six big ideas for federal and state energy policymakers to consider.
