The world is at a crucial transition point. As global energy demand grows while supply shifts to a low-carbon future, humanity’s well-being and economic prosperity depend on advances in energy toward affordable, renewable and resilient sources and distribution networks.

Extreme temperatures and weather events stress overburdened power grids, knock power plants offline, disrupt energy and water sources, and trigger rolling blackouts. The destructive effects of climate change threaten the security and sustainability of our conventional power sources, lives and livelihoods.

We need innovative approaches to climate intervention and energy access that improve global standards of living and secure human resiliency for future generations.
