Webinar — The American New Energy Economy After the Midterms

Tuesday · November 17, 2026
1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
Virtual Virtual

The midterm elections are reshaping the political landscape, and they arrive alongside powerful economic and energy trends. Rising electricity demand, shifting supply chains, and persistent affordability pressures increasingly define the environment in which federal and state leaders must operate.

In this webinar we will assess what the midterm results mean for the federal and state policy landscape. How have recent electoral developments changed the outlook for new energy technologies in specific states and regions, and across the U.S. as a whole? How have electoral developments not changed things? What can states do to address ongoing concerns around affordability, load growth, and economic growth? The session will discuss these key questions and conclude with an audience Q&A.

Confirmed speakers currently include:

  • Ben Feshbach, Associate — Associate, US Program, RMI, Moderator
  • And other experts, details forthcoming!

This webinar marks the official launch of New Energy Works, a national community of practice where economic development and energy policy leaders can explore strategies to accelerate U.S. economic development through growing new energy technology industries.
