Consumers don’t have time for our politics. If we fail to invest in the emerging technologies capable of making measurable changes today; if we overlook the systems that are accomplishing emissions reductions now – if we don’t at least question policy proposals and political campaigns that rely on elusive scenarios that are decades from reality – we will continue to see incremental change at best, higher costs, and missed opportunities to improve energy reliability, affordability, and economic growth.Real solutions will require us to connect and engage with one another and to find compromise across industries and ideologies.
