How States Are Powering America’s Clean Energy Future
In a CleanTech Talk episode, Dylan McDowell, CEO of the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators, and Hawaii State Senator Chris Lee discuss why state‑level action is now critical to America’s clean‑energy transition. They highlight how hands‑on learning programs and legislative templates are shaping policy outcomes across the 2026 legislative cycle. The conversation underscores the growing momentum of state‑driven renewable targets, especially Hawaii’s 100% clean‑power goal, and the broader impact on national climate strategy.
