“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.”
Tonya Hicks, Electrification, Georgia

“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.”
Adam Powers, Green Gentailer, Maryland
“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.”
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. ”
Brian Hoopes, Solar, California
“Solar is safe and effective, we're not destroying the land, it's just being utilized in a new way for a while, and can be restored to the way it was in the decades to come.”
Jamie Skaar, Solar & More, Washington
“There are clear benefits to installing cleaner and more efficient technologies that offer more features and better performance. But even more so, there's a sense of pride, accomplishment and contribution that people experience in helping to grow positive climate impact.”
Isabelle Musmanno, Solar, Georgia
“My proudest accomplishment in clean energy was when I had the opportunity to teach and mentor Girl Scouts about the opportunities ahead of them in the growing industry at their annual conference.”
Chris Zargarbashi, Solar, California
“ I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter named Nora. To bring her into this world in 2021 was a commitment to hope… I work in clean energy to contribute, in any small capacity, to the slowing of global warming and for all of the hopes that I have for Nora.”
Alison Adams, Solar, Oregon
“I go to work every day knowing I'm part of the solution. When I hear doom and gloom headlines about climate change, I joke that I'm working on it! It gives me peace of mind knowing I'm helping to turn the tide and building a new energy infrastructure that will sustain my children and all of humanity.”
Michael Darling, Solar, California
“Supplying dependable and renewable energy provides sustainability not only for the environment, but for employment. Many of the jobs created allow families to join the industry and jobs to stay in the local community. This allows a clean environment, power and steady employment for communities.”
LaTisha Phillips, Solar, Virginia
“I wish more people understood he importance of engaging with local governments and communities, it's essential to the success of the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act.”
Stacey McKinney, Solar, Oregon
“Clean energy can provide affordable and reliable energy, resiliency to increasing climate change, good paying jobs, and will help reverse impacts of decades of extractive industries. I want to be a part of the generation that recognizes that the impacts of our actions today will continue to affect future generations. It’s our responsibility to conserve natural resources, protect ecosystems, and to ensure the health and safety for those walking in our footsteps.”
Alyssa Grant, Solar, California
“I wish people knew that my decision to work in the clean energy industry was more than a job or a paycheck. It's about the ripple effect that is created for years to come by the work we are doing and the innovative steps we are taking to ensure reliable energy sources that won't damage our planet. It's about inspiring our future generations to take action, ask questions, fuel innovation and know that the renewable energy industry is a thriving career path.”
Noelle Paige, Solar, Virginia
“Congress should invest in clean energy because this is the industry that is growing; we are not on a sustainable trajectory with the potential for growth versus labor. We need people of almost every discipline to join this effort, thus clean energy has the potential to create so many diverse and meaningful jobs. ”
