The Port of Long Beach cut emissions by 90 percent while cargo increased. Incoming CEO Dr. Noel Hacegaba shares how clean energy, planning, and strong partnerships are driving real change at one of the busiest ports in the country.
The House passed 2 permitting bills to cut delays & bring projects online faster. The SPEED Act is next. NEPA reform is key to building energy & jobs here at home.
Permitting is broken. In Watts the Tea, Zainab and Hannah explain why the system slows clean energy and keeps the status quo in place. We don’t need to start from scratch. We need to stop designing for delay.

Farm to Power is helping rural communities connect with clean energy.
That means stronger farms, more local jobs, and another way to keep families on the land. Clean energy is part of the future for agriculture.
Q3 clean energy investment hit $75 billion. That’s a record.
Utility-scale power is rising while manufacturing slows. Growth depends on faster permitting and steady policy.

Ports move 80% of goods.
Decarbonizing them means cutting diesel, cleaning up the air, and modernizing how we move products.
Zainab breaks down how this work at Long Beach supports supply chains and clean energy goals.
IBEW workers in Baltimore are preparing for the next generation of energy jobs. But the federal government is blocking projects. That’s cutting jobs and driving prices up.

The U.S. still depends on imports for key materials like lithium, cobalt, and rare earths.
As our Senior Director Zainab explains, DOE funding has helped build a U.S. supply chain. Pulling back now would slow progress and leave us more exposed.
