Launching on Earth Day, this exclusive series on WTOP.com brought together government and industry experts to share initiatives and insights about efforts to transform the nation’s energy infrastructure. 

Sessions addressed critical topics:

  • How can organizations collaborate to make the energy grid both more resilient and climate-friendly?
  • How can converting large municipal truck fleets to biodiesel deliver ROI and help reduce an organization’s carbon footprint quickly?
  • What changes are possible in the energy infrastructure in the near term?
  • What challenges in policy, funding and implementation need to be addressed to achieve long-term milestones?
