“Energy providers have an especially important role to play in solving for the great challenge of our time — climate change.  As the leader of one of the nation’s largest electricity and natural gas utilities, you can count me in. To get us to a decarbonized energy future, every player in the energy supply chain—including system operators, generators, distributors, and policy makers—must collaborate at a level never seen before.  I am proud to be one of the many businesses encouraging the US to do the same at COP21 in Paris. We need our government leaders to take decisive action to combat climate change and help us build a low-carbon economy.”  –Dean Seavers, President, National Grid US
