Shane Roche has been in the clean energy industry for 5 years and is currently the Project Development Manager at Vestas.

“By adopting renewables broadly, we will not only create more jobs and lower cost energy, but this low cost energy will create an economic advantage as the underpinning of countless new zero carbon industries in the future — that we can lead in.”

“Clean energy will help improve World Peace by avoiding international conflicts over fossil fuel resources.”

“Clean energy fights climate change, brings new job opportunities to Americans, and future proofs our grid.”

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

“[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.”

“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 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.”

“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. ”
