The electricity sector is undergoing a dynamic transformation, presenting both challenges and opportunities. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing energy systems, enhancing efficiency and reliability. Securing ethically sourced critical minerals is vital for sustainable energy infrastructure. There is also a renewed interest in nuclear power to meet increasing energy demands. Balancing technological innovation with policy development and investment strategies is essential to navigate this evolving landscape.

Join University of Houston energy and climate law experts, energy general counsel, and Blank Rome attorneys as we examine these pivotal developments in the energy sector. We will explore strategies for addressing these issues in the context of the ever-evolving political and environmental landscape at our 2025 North American Environment, Energy, & Natural Resources Conference.
