Congress is currently determining next year’s federal budget. To create American jobs, support U.S. global competitiveness, enhance energy security, and reduce U.S. emissions, it is imperative that Congress set aside dedicated funding for clean energy innovation.

As the Appropriations Committees in Congress considers federal funding levels, Breakthrough Energy sent leaders a letter urging them to robustly fund key innovation programs for emerging clean energy technologies that will spur solutions in hard-to-abate sectors, modernize our grid, and support researchers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

Founded by Bill Gates, Breakthrough Energy is focused on developing and deploying the critical climate solutions our world needs to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
