Programs described in its return (3)
- $6.1 million spent. IN 2025 - CLEAN ECON'S FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION - PRESERVING CLEAN ENERGY TAX CREDITS WAS A KEY AREA OF FOCUS. CLEAN ECON MOBILIZED KEY BUSINESS VOICES, LED COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGNS, AND SHAPED POLICY IN A BIPARTISAN MANNER VIA WORKING GROUPS AND LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING - ALL CONTRIBUTING TO AN END RESULT THAT PRESERVED OR EXPANDED MANY CLEAN ENERGY TAX CREDITS AND LENGTHENED PHASEOUT TIMELINES.
- $930,386 spent. THE CLEAN TECH COMMERCIALIZATION PROGRAM WORKS TO MODERNIZE KEY FEDERAL PROGRAMS TO ACCELERATE BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES FROM LAB TO MARKET. 2025 SUCCESSES INCLUDED DEFENDING EXISTING FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND INVESTMENTS FROM SPENDING CUTS AND ADVANCING STRUCTURAL REFORMS TO MAKE THE DEPT OF ENERGY'S INNOVATION PROGRAM MORE EFFECTIVE. CLEAN ECON ALSO CONDUCTED HIGHLY EFFECTIVE LOBBYING AND COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS TO BUILD POLITICAL SUPPORT FOR FEDERAL INVESTMENT IN NUCLEAR FUSION TECHNOLOGY.
- $53,818 spent. CREDIBLE MODELING SHOWS THAT AN EFFICIENT, RELIABLE, NET-ZERO GRID REQUIRES 25%+ CLEAN FIRM POWER: ZERO-CARBON RESOURCES (ADVANCED FISSION, FUSION, GEOTHERMAL, HYDROPOWER, LONG-DURATION STORAGE). THESE TECHNOLOGIES STRUGGLE TO SCALE DUE TO OUTDATED NARRATIVES, PERMITTING RED TAPE, FINANCING RISKS, AND ELECTRICITY MARKETS DESIGNED FOR SHORT-TERM DISPATCH RATHER THAN THE BANKABLE LONG-TERM INVESTMENT THAT CLEAN FIRM PROJECTS REQUIRE, IN 2025, CLEANECON LAUNCHED THE 21ST CENTURY GRID PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THESE BARRIERS WITH A FOCUS ON THREE KEY AREAS - PERMITTING REFORM, CLEAN FIRM POWER DEPLOYMENT, AND ELECTRICITY MARKET FEFORM.
