East Coast Power Growth and the Role of Natural Gas

Abstract

As we look out at energy land in the coming year and decades, the dilemma of where natural gas fits within the industry is an ongoing soap opera. Presumably, some of the answers may be affected by changes in national leadership, but state policies and carbon-reduction plans are pretty aggressive. Meanwhile, in the East, growth in power demand is becoming a major issue, one that even non-energy people frequently discuss.
