Public advocacy is a crucial component in implementing actionable solutions. We actively engage with communities that have a vested interest in a clean energy future. We highlight local narratives to inspire larger-scale social conversations on the role of new and existing clean energy infrastructure.
Our Values
Pro-Human
Climate change may be our most daunting challenge yet. But modern technologies and innovation offer a real opportunity to reduce society’s impact on the environment. By working together, we can build a future that’s good for humans and the planet.
Pro-Growth
Energy is the driver of human progress. It enables greater levels of healthcare, education, democracy, and economic freedom. Energy powers the creative pursuits and scientific endeavors that will build the future. Yet 700 million people today still live in energy poverty.
We believe the world needs more energy, not less. Nuclear power, geothermal, hydroelectric, and other clean energy resources are a force for good – they offer prosperity to humankind while offering superior protection to our natural resources.
Pro-Active
We take a proactive, constructive approach that focuses on protecting existing while building new clean energy infrastructure. This includes enabling individuals and communities to take action and accelerate the transition to a clean future.
