Incredibly proud of everyone involved in the evolution of @evgonetwork into a public company. Electrifying our transportation system has endless benefits to consumers, health, climate change and much more. We've only just begun. #GoEVGO #CleanEnergy

Hard to believe it’s been 13 years since I wrote this for the @WashingtonPost. Happy to hear that @FERC is finally considering putting a price on carbon. Long overdue. #ActOnClimate washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co…

Or, let’s think about this: how about much sooner? And while we clean electricity, let’s electrify ALL energy consumption! xitter.cf/UtilityDive/status/127…
The U.S. can deliver 90% of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2035, according to a new report from the University of California, Berkeley. bit.ly/2zmG06y
