The Center for American Progress first published a major report last February on the urgent need to build a national clean-energy smart grid to power an innovative, low-carbon 21st-century economy that combats global warming and creates millions of good jobs. Titled "Wired for Progress 1.0," our repor--based on an extensive stakeholder outreach process undertaken in partnership with the United Nations Foundation's Energy Future Coalition--detailed the reasons why we need to build this national clean-energy infrastructure quickly, and outlined key policy measures that must be undertaken in order to bring about this complex project. Those arguments and recommendations are included in this updated version of the report.
