Roopmati Meena knows energy poverty first-hand. Meena, a current Ph.D. student at IIT Bombay in India, grew up in Rajasthan where residents have difficulty accessing reliable and safe energy. Although the circumstances have improved over the years, Meena said there is still more work to be done.

Here’s why it’s crucial to act now:

The energy sector is at an inflection point where the promise of a lower-carbon future is within grasp.

About 92MW of new electrolyzers were shipped in 2022, but the number is expected to be much more this year.”

Infrastructure — the great enabler of the energy transition

“The U.S. energy transition requires modernized, expanded and resilient infrastructure to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and to enable the continued delivery of reliable and affordable energy” was among the principal findings derived from the Sustainable Energy in America Factbook (Factbook), 11th Edition.
