Proposed Session Description
50% by 2030? Nothing less than the future of the earth rests on U.S. energy efforts, up against a dire deadline. Experts in the energy arena come together to share their diverse views of the first few months of the new administration's efforts. Are initial efforts of the right scale? Which agencies are coming together with which plans? What does it mean to have John Kerry working across all climate efforts? What's administrative, and what is legislative, and where are the courts? What does the new regime mean for the building-energy arena? The NESEA community has seen administrations come and go over forty years, but the pressure has never been like this. Can our nation build the transformation, and can it do so in time?

Comments about your speaker roster
If John Kerry is not available to join us for this session (wouldn't that be great!) .... Then, depending on who else is in the new Administration, expect to approach a few diverse folks to present different perspectives. Steve Nadel always will always know everything that's going on, that's why his name is there.
Anything else you'd like to tell us about your session proposal?
I'd appreciate if this could be run by the Co-Chairs early. It could certainly be a plenary. Glad to work on it with others. Should be fun!
also, sorry for checking all the boxes in the form! :)
