“Working in clean energy holds significant meaning for both me and my family. It allows me to contribute to a cause larger than myself, building on the sense of service I gained in the military.”

“Fossil fuel is still needed to meet our energy demands, but we will benefit greatly by increasing the amount of clean energy we produce.”

“Solar and wind here in Texas has offset energy cost and reliability especially during the summer months.”

“[Clean Energy] is diversifying our energy mix and bringing forward additional job opportunities in a growing sector.”

“Fossil fuel is on a trend of diminishing returns. The cost of extraction is rising, while the benefit of each barrel is decreasing — especially as we factor the environmental impact into the equation.”

“Clean energy provides jobs, cleaner air and water, and inspiration for a more just, sustainable and equitable future in Michigan.”

“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.”

“I want to do my part in making sure the green transition includes low-income communities like the one I came from. PLUS, who doesn't want a cleaner, greener Earth and some more affordable energy?!”

“Technology with Small Modular Reactors is growing, and these plants have incredible economic potential to stimulate struggling coal communities, all while producing no direct emissions. Clean energy seems like the obvious choice, economically and environmentally.”

“Clean energy jobs will continue to provide reliable, and affordable power to help families, businesses and communities save money. Fossil fuel jobs will only assist with releasing large numbers of pollutants into the atmosphere, creating pollution levels.”

“I grew up in an area of western Canada known for oil, gas, coal and timber production. My Dad spent 25 years in the thermal coal mining business. I honor the past where I grew up and where I spent 30 year of my career, but also enjoy embracing learning and growing in the clean energy transition.”

“There is a clean energy revolution happening whether people like it or not. Delaying the transition to renewable energy sources now is going to hurt those communities in the future. Get on board the renewable train now, or get left behind.”

“I wish more people knew how easy it is to transition your life! Just small adjustments, how big of an impact those make.”

“Clean energy is reducing our carbon footprint, stabilizing energy rates for our schools, and diversifying and modernizing our energy resources. I have seen first-hand how clean energy projects can create new opportunities for workforce development and bring pride to communities. ”

“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.”

“The shift to electrificaiton is finally gaining some momentum. Detroit and Michigan businesses have the opportunity to reclaim leadership positions through innovations in mobility. This is a pivotal moment for technological advancement, workforce development, jobs creation across the mobility and clean energy ecosystem (the grid, green steel, hydrogen, last-mile solutions, etc). “

“I wish people knew that I am not limited to just the conversion of power from DC-AC. In my current position I work with all aspects of a renewable project from the batteries to the transformer at the interconnection with the Grid. Due to my expansive network on not just the supplier but the integrator/developer segments I can bring different parties involved together.”

“Clean energy is vital to keeping the environment and current wildlife safe. I am an environmentalist first and foremost and the clean energy transition is a key part of preventing the harms from climate change.”

“One common misconception about clean energy, and climate action generally, is that it either takes heroic individual decisions OR mass collective direct action. However, these two aren’t at odds at all! The opposite, actually -- they’re deeply related. When you take climate action, say you choose clean energy, by sharing that choice with others you will inspire more in your circles of friends, family, and neighbors to make the switch, too.”

“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. ”
