Scott Stambush, Energy Storage, Texas
“I think of it as renewable energy. It’s an economic story of abundance as well as another layer of national defense and home defense.”
Adrienne Pierce, Microgrids, California
“Carbon should stay in the ground. We can be smarter training and investing in a clean energy economy that rebuilds our infrastructure for a more sustainable future and mitigates climate change.”
Scott Kato, Thermal Batteries, California
“The opportunities are growing in the clean energy industry, it's a different working environment now compared to five or ten years ago. When I graduated university, jobs in the clean energy industry were scarce; now there are plenty of opportunities.”
Bijan Shiravi, Thermal Batteries, California
“The clean energy sector is growing rapidly, and it’s not stopping. Working in clean energy is almost a guarantee to ensure you’ll be hireable in the coming 10-20 years. Not many other industries can make that same claim.”
Hong Zhang Durandal, Energy Storage, Texas
“Renewable energy is the way of the future and it has arrived. The US should continue to invest in renewable energy and support new interconnection upgrades because it is more efficient and provides abundant energy for future innovation, research, and development for the country’s future.”
Jonathan W. Postal, Energy Storage & Solar, Colorado
“The transition to clean energy is the greatest economic engine and opportunity we will have in the next century. We must decarbonize every sector of the economy from food production to transportation, communications, housing, workplace and that will be a giant economic boom.”
A Good Career
Hear from employees at ESS how entering the clean energy workforce has been good for their careers.
Brian Chen, Wind & More, Texas
“Congress should invest in clean energy because it gives us another option for power and energy. This will reduce our dependence on other nations and we have a track record to maintain of leading the way instead of being a technology lagger. ”
Rex Young, Battery Storage, North Carolina
“I do wish folks better appreciated the permitting challenges besetting clean energy industries. Often "permitting reform" is confused with rubber stamping fossil fuel projects, but many state and local regulations are stifling the clean energy transition as well.”
Samuel Pittman, Energy Storage and Batteries, Virginia
“Clean energy brings a cleaner environment, economic opportunity within the transition and strengthens National Security with energy independence.”
Jose Phillips Rangel, Battery, Idaho
“Each step of the way we can create jobs, put American innovation to work, and give the next generation a cleaner, safer, more secure electric grid.”
Dej Knuckey, Batteries, California
“Every time a clean energy system gets installed, a community gets cleaner air.”
Peter Gruenbaum, Solar and Batteries, Texas
“It means the world to me that I feel like I am doing something that makes a difference.”
