As a subscriber, you may have noticed that I haven’t published this newsletter in quite a while (though the frequency of blog posts on the website hasn’t diminished; we have a total of 15,700+, growing daily).
When it was originally conceived, 2GreenEnergy focused largely on the business aspects of renewable energy, but over the years our mission became broader.
While my associates and I remain poised to help our clients in any of dozens of different business disciplines, most of the new content on the site over the past few years has had little to do with commerce, and has concentrated on the imperative to phase of fossil fuels in favor of low-carbon alternatives so as to avert climate catastrophe, and that normally means confronting the political issues that stand in the way.
Sure, there are occasional posts on technology and economics, but today’s readers are most likely to see thoughts on:
• Putting constraints on Big Oil’s stranglehold on our lawmaking processes, and removing money from politics of all sorts, e.g., gun safety laws.
• Ensuring that Donald Trump never gets anywhere near the White House ever again, and, to whatever degree possible, removing “Trumpism” as an animating factor in American society.
• Accepting science as core of policymaking in climate change mitigation, pandemic control, etc.
• Understanding a variety of other related social issues, e.g., restoring quality education, maintaining the separation of church and state, and empowering women.
• Looking at the subject of sustainability more generally: agriculture, clean water, micro-plastics, mass transit, etc.
As we enter our 15th year, I want to thank everyone who’s contributed to furthering the cause of environmental responsibility, and that means you, regardless of the actual role you’ve played.

ACORE Celebrates its 25th Anniversary by Ringing The Opening Bell at the NYSE
New York, NY – Today, ACORE celebrated 25 years by ringing The Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), marking an important milestone and sending a clear message that clean energy is a foundational economic engine of the 21st century.
“When ACORE was founded 25 years ago, our goal was to prove the economic case for clean power. Today, as we ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, we are celebrating the reality that clean energy is now the cheapest, most reliable, and most scalable source of power available,” said ACORE President and CEO Ray Long. “Our focus remains on the future. We are facing unprecedented electricity demand growth, and we need to deploy capital faster than ever before to build the grid of tomorrow. The financial momentum is here, and the clean energy economy is ready to deliver the abundant, low-cost power our nation demands.”
Founded in 2001, ACORE was the first organization dedicated to expanding the pan-renewable economy in the United States. For 25 years, ACORE has worked toward its vision of an electrified economy powered by clean energy that supports an improved quality of life for all. Today, ACORE members are the investment engine behind the massive clean energy deployment that is helping ensure that Americans’ energy needs are met.

Can’t swear that this is true but hoping so.
We must never forget.
The more visibility and the more frequent reminders we can get on this catastrophe in U.S. history the better.
