  • Despite federal rollbacks, wind and solar power have become among the cheapest energy sources globally, driving continued investment and adoption.
  • Advances in battery technology and electric vehicles are accelerating the clean energy transition, with significant market and technological momentum.
  • Experts suggest the clean energy sector has reached 'escape velocity,' positioning it to withstand political resistance and maintain long-term progress.
