Airen Washington, Solar, Washington D.C.
"Clean energy isn’t some distant concept; it’s very close to home. It’s connected to kids getting asthma and the affordability of utilities in your house."
Chanse Foster, Solar, Navajo Nation
“The Navajo Nation is a great place to implement our solar electricity service because it's a fast, reliable, and hassle-free option that aligns with our lifestyles.”
Marcy Bauer, Electric Vehicles, North Carolina
“Rather than protecting our reliance on outdated and/or heavily polluting solutions and deepening our vulnerabilities, I consider it to be highly patriotic and humanitarian to be working to onboard and continuously improve technologies that allow us to power the nation and the world with cleaner, more sustainable fuel sources.”
Meghan Pearson, Climate Education, Colorado
“We should invest in the workforce of the future and the workforce of the future are kids. And we should invest in teaching kids about these renewable energies so that when they grow up, they know that these jobs exist because renewable energy is not going away.”
Doreen Wong, Ocean & Climate Innovation, Hawaii
“Clean energy can offer a lifeline for those who were born and/or raised in environments where their choices are limited. By providing individuals at a younger age with potential job opportunities in clean energy, we can enable them to learn more about the potential of clean energy earlier on in their lives and inform them on how clean energy can provide access to clean air, water, and food systems in their everyday lives.”
Jessica Crawford, Electric Vehicles, Michigan
“Michigan’s greatest feature is its natural resources. Having clean energy investments in the places people love to visit, such as electric vehicle charging stations in the Upper Peninsula, allows folks to enjoy our state’s beauty while also mitigating their carbon footprint.”
Grace Stanke, Nuclear Energy, Delaware
“I wish more people realized we need nuclear plus renewables. We need a diverse energy portfolio in order to maintain reliability, accessibility, and a carbon emissions free grid.”
Haleigh Reed, Microgrids, Alaska
“Producing energy locally has many health, economic, and resilience related benefits. It's also an issue that affects everyone, which can be a great connector for organizations who may not have worked well together on previous issues.”
Ja-Chin Audrey Lee, Solar, California
“Investing in clean energy is investing in our future. Our economy is dependent on energy and future generations are dependent on energy being sustainable, renewable, plentiful, and clean.”
Gwendolyn Summers, State Government, New York
“The clean energy industry is home to thousands of high-quality, family sustaining jobs, promising a pathway to a rewarding career. In New York State alone, total employment in the clean energy sector is expected to increase by more than 60%, adding at least 211,000 jobs by 2030.”
Jessica Hutcheson, Electric Vehicles, California
“I wish people could feel confident about building and being innovative in this space. Nobody's ever done this before so it's okay for you to dream. That is so powerful — to be able to take a population of people that has never been allowed to dream and say, ‘Hey, here's an opportunity for you to dream and be included!’“
Ellie Redding, Electric Vehicles, California
“The transition to clean energy is inevitable, but the sooner we make that transition, the better the outcomes -- for climate change, but also for public health, energy independence, and economic opportunity.”
Aimee Bailey, Electrification, California
“[Clean energy] is the most exciting and multi-disciplinary industry out there!”
Carrie Zalewski, Wind, Illinois
“Clean energy fights climate change, brings new job opportunities to Americans, and future proofs our grid.”
Sadie Henderson, Climate Investment, California
“The clean energy industry isn’t just about cars and power plants and batteries – energy production dictates how we grow food, how we distribute food, how we get our water, clean our water, create textiles, and more.”
Olivia Espy Huntington, Green Tech, Texas
“I used to think I needed to be an engineer or scientist to contribute to the energy transition. I have learned, however, that it takes one type of genius to develop a disruptive technology and another type of genius altogether to drive the adoption of a disruptive technology. The more hands and voices the better!”
Jade Garrett, Solar, Virginia
“Clean energy is where there is more opportunity to make equitable jobs open to all.”
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.”
Rachel Meidl, Policy, Texas
“In a sustainable, circular, and clean energy and materials future, we will need access to a wide range of skilled workers to manufacture/remanufacture, install, operate, maintain, repair, recycle, refurbish and regulate our complex energy systems.”
Erin Twamley, Education, Alabama
“I started my career in clean energy industry working at Department of Energy in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. I was focused on Energy Literacy and helped to support education and outreach initiatives for teachers and students. “
