The United States faces a defining infrastructure challenge as the nation marks its 250th anniversary: modernizing the energy system to meet demands that will only grow, year over year, for decades to come.
How this generation responds will define what the next 250 years look like.
American ingenuity transformed the country and the world over the past two and a half centuries. The airplane and the telephone were invented here. The railroad connected the nation together.
Highways, airports, canals, and eventually the electric grid connected communities and created opportunity at a scale no one imagined.
Previous generations built the infrastructure we stand on. This generation’s responsibility is to build the infrastructure the next generation will depend on.
The energy system must be modernized to meet demands that will only grow. The dynamic economy that powered America’s rise now requires an energy grid capable of handling unprecedented load.
The work ahead is just beginning — and the celebration of 250 years of that story is well-earned.
