# Keynote: Rocky Mountain Electrical League, San Antonio, Texas : The Future IS Connected Energy

What’s the future of energy generation, the grid, power lines? Fast! This was their 100th annual get together – quite the track record for a group of companies and organizations in the power utility industry. They invited me in for a tour of the trends redefining the sector at blinding speed, and what to do to align to the era of the ‘end of oil.’ As with many  of my keynotes, I filmed a [sneak peak video](https://jimcarroll.com/2018/08/keynote-toward-the-new-energy-paradigm-my-keynote-for-the-115th-annual-rmel-conference/) in advance that got them thinking about these issues well before they arrived in the room.
