Listen in as Kelly Speakes-Backman, Acting Assistant Secretary of Energy and the most empowered clean energy field general the nation has ever seen, shares thoughts on the strategy for climate progress.

Speakes-Backman explains how the Biden administration is pushing to convert the power grid to 100% renewable energy by 2035, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, cleaning our environment, and elevating our nation’s competitive advantage as the new millennium rolls forth. Speakes-Backman will be central to overseeing the details and implementation of the plans: research to build capacity and cut costs, public policy to smooth the way, manufacturing to keep jobs in the U.S., and so much more.
