Energy
A combination of federal policies and investments have contributed to a clean energy revolution that is happening right now--in the U.S. and around the world. Clean energy presents a tremendous opportunity to create jobs, grow our economy, and address climate change. Clean energy is affordable, attainable and available to us right now. Continued innovation will lead to new energy approaches and climate change solutions, while continuing to drop the costs of existing technologies, as their economic and jobs benefits continue to grow.
