@Breakthrough is working to accelerate clean energy innovation -- and this year, we’ve taken big steps towards advancing the solutions needed to reach a clean energy future.

Our State of the Transition report provides a snapshot of that progress. https://t.co/ezRfw91nmG

Congratulations, Amy! So well deserved. Wonderful to have you as a colleague and grateful to have you at Cipher leading its mission-driven journalism.

[Amy Harder @AmyAHarder]

Thank you @AES_Energy! I’m honored to receive this award and proud to be recognized for mission-driven journalism. At Cipher, this means an unwavering commitment to providing readers in-depth reporting and analysis on the groundbreaking tech moving the world to net zero by 2050.

Today, BE Catalyst announced that its first funding will be awarded to @LanzaJet’s Freedom Pines Fuels sustainable aviation fuel plant. Catalyst brings together private sector partners to fund and accelerate the deployment of critical clean technologies.

[Mike Boots @MikeBoots_]

Businesses, governments, and investors are ready to create a clean energy economy. In his State of the Energy Transition, @BillGates calls for collaboration to develop innovative, affordable, and accessible solutions to drive the transition. https://t.co/BBUgkqTPxW

Thrilled to be in Seattle this week to participate in the Breakthrough Energy Summit! #BESummit2022 is bringing together leaders & innovators across sectors to develop and deploy the climate solutions that will get us to net zero.

[Breakthrough Energy @Breakthrough]

We believe the right people, with the right platform, have the power to transform tomorrow with clean, reliable, affordable energy.

We’re kicking off our BE Summit – convening our network to learn from each other & identify next steps to address climate change. #BESummit2022

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

It’s hard for even the most promising low-carbon technologies to make it all the way to market. The @Breakthrough Energy Fellows program empowers early-stage innovators like @Molten_Ind to grow from their garage and deliver the solutions the world needs to get to zero emissions.

Love working with this team of badass women.

[Global Clean Energy Action Forum @GCEAF_USA]

🗞️ BIG NEWS: @Breakthrough Founder @BillGates is officially coming to #Pittsburgh for #GCEAF in just 2️⃣ weeks! Sign up by TOMORROW to hear his thoughts on clean energy and climate action. https://t.co/1JHdtMvtBV

[Robinson Meyer @robinsonmeyer]

Although it’s attracted little attention, the bipartisan CHIPS Act contains an estimated $67 billion for clean energy R&D and climate resilience. That makes it one of the largest climate bills ever passed by Congress. I wrote about it: https://t.co/r67ExzGQik

[Mike Boots @MikeBoots_]

Excited to join @PoppyHarlowCNN in a few minutes to discuss the #InflationReductionAct – our once-in-a-generation opportunity to build the U.S. clean energy economy and a cleaner, healthier, more prosperous energy future for all of us. Let’s get this done.

[Robin Millican @RobinMillican]

Excited to be here for the signing of the CHIPS and Science Act, which will invest a historic amount in US science, technology, and manufacturing 🇺🇸 @MikeBoots_ @Breakthrough

[Mike Boots @MikeBoots_]

Yes. What he said. Time to turn American innovations into American clean energy industries. Thanks @BillGates.

[Breakthrough Energy @Breakthrough]

“It represents our best chance to build an energy future that is cleaner, cheaper and more secure.”

As Congress takes up the Inflation Reduction Act today, check out our founder @BillGates in the @nytimes on this historic bill: https://t.co/VzSMDIS28F

[Mike Boots @MikeBoots_]

@vsiv @JasonBordoff @johnarnold @DLinDC Love this. Keep going!

[Mike Boots @MikeBoots_]

Such a massive leap forward for clean energy markets across this country. Let's make it happen.

[Breakthrough Energy @Breakthrough]

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is a historic step that will move the U.S. closer to its climate and energy security goals. Congress must take swift action and turn this into law. Read our analysis on its significance for the clean energy transition: https://t.co/LETKxAMLBr

[Breakthrough Energy @Breakthrough]

Congress just released a historic policy framework that if signed into law will enable critical climate technologies to rapidly scale and help to build the foundation of the clean energy economy.

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

Gates on how his Breakthrough Energy has had success in shifting smart talent from stuff like derivatives trading to tackling the big challenges in climate tech:

[Ann Mettler @AnnMettler]

This should be a no-brainer, for climate but also for Europe's security interests. If #repowereu really wants to pave the way to a phase out of fossil energy, long-duration energy storage needs to be a central plank of the strategy. #LDES #StopPutinsWar

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

One of the best parts of my job is learning from innovators and entrepreneurs taking on some of the world's greatest challenges. They make me optimistic about the world’s ability to get to net-zero carbon emissions: https://t.co/1wNjdBJOlJ

[Mike Boots @MikeBoots_]

A shining star of diplomacy and humanity and grit. Forever grateful for her service to the country and the world. Rest in peace.
