The region is at the vanguard of energy transitions, and plays a vital role in the country\u2019s energy security and economic development. Yet rapidly rising demand, increasing costs, aging infrastructure, and complex permitting processes pose formidable challenges to the region\u2019s energy ecosystem and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s State of the West symposium will consider the state of energy in the West, from ensuring affordable energy in the age of AI, to opportunities for permitting reform and the future of nuclear energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoover.org\/events\/powering-american-west-affordability-technology-and-policy-western-energy-landscape\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Powering the American West: Affordability, Technology, and Policy in the Western Energy Landscape https:\/\/www.hoover.org\/events\/powering-american-west-affordability-technology-and-policy-western-energy-landscape Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":234505,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.hoover.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/facebook\/public\/2024-02\/iStock-1396533181.jpg?h=61c69baf&itok=xXK9OEKE","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,65,78,57],"class_list":["post-234504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-energy","tag-nuclear","tag-oil","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234504"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":234506,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234504\/revisions\/234506"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
