"Deploying these technologies even more widely will not just help states meet new greenhouse gas standards, it will also modernize the country’s electric power system, making it more resilient, reliable and efficient. For some companies, there will be export opportunities around the world by capitalizing on the rapidly growing advanced energy sector.”
