America's Energy Transition

We are at the beginning of one of the most significant industrial transitions in history, moving from an economy based almost exclusively on carbon-producing fossil energy - coal, oil and gas - to one eventually fueled by renewable energy - sun, wind, steam, and innovative technologies that generate and enable power sources. The Biden-Harris Administration and Congress have accelerated this energy transition through passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the single greatest piece of climate legislation ever passed. IRA, along with other federal investments in America, have changed everything. In doing so, the United States has gone from laggard to leader in driving an industrial economy based on clean energy. Now, as the energy train has left the station, the 2024 presidential election will play a critical role in this transition, determining whether the train accelerates on pace or hits a switch turning its direction.
