I am filled with hope and confidence in my career choice. Let's get to work.

The market forces are undeniable - Texas led 50% of U.S. solar additions, and 80% of new energy infrastructure landed in conservative regions. This is a story of growing momentum that we could not imagine ten years ago.

Despite these challenges, I'm more optimistic than ever. This year alone, the U.S. invested $250B in EV/battery manufacturing, transmission, small modular reactors, and sustainable aviation fuels among other clean technologies.

3) Beyond capital deployment, we must strengthen supply chains, streamline permitting, and rapidly commercialize proven technologies.

2) Success demands coordination across the full capital stack: grantors, VCs, growth equity, PE firms, private credit, and lenders working together to accelerate grid modernization and create a mature clean energy ecosystem.

1) We need to deploy something like the current global GDP ($100 trillion) across the world by 2050 to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

I hear truth is stranger than fiction
