Honored to join KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) for World Food Day to discuss how solar energy can power a more food-secure future.

We can end hunger in our lifetime. It starts with energy.

Can #CleanEnergy end poverty? That's the question I'll explore at Solar & Storage Live this Sunday in Riyadh.

I look forward to connecting with the #solar community!

Dr. Jane Goodall showed the world that science and compassion belong together.

Grateful to have met her—and to have partnered with the Jane Goodall Institute to bring solar power to Gombe. May her legacy guide us forward.

Solar installations in #Africa are projected to grow by 42% in 2025! 📈

#Solar is cleaner, cheaper & more reliable, yet steep capital costs in Africa have held the industry back.

Through investment & partnership, we can create a more inclusive clean #EnergyTransition: tinyurl.com/49hwxznm
