With the urgency of addressing our climate crisis and economic troubles increasing, and an administration and certain elements of Congress still recalcitrant to enacting renewable energy and climate policies, the role of private investment to spur immediate growth in renewable energy and green jobs is essential.

Abbasi, Director, MissionPoint Capital Partners.  Video provided by the U.S. House of Representatives.
