The theme of the 2021 Symposium on Climate and Energy Law related to whether our energy infrastructure can handle the impacts of and solutions to climate change. The U.S. is seeing an increase in extreme weather events, including heatwaves, heavy rains, droughts, and ice storms. These events affect our energy system’s ability to keep lights on, air conditioners cold, and space heating systems hot. The August 2020 rolling blackouts in California due to a prolonged heatwave and the more recent multi-day outage due to extreme cold and ice in Texas illustrate this challenge.
