Todd Khozein, CEO of SecondMuse, spoke with NBC News New York on the state of renewable, green technology amidst calls for U.S. energy dominance through increased gas and oil production.
As the U.S. navigates the crossroads of energy policy, Donald Trump’s revived “Drill, baby, drill” slogan signals a push for fossil fuels amid growing climate challenges. However, market trends and federal investments, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, are powering a surge in renewable energy adoption and green jobs, even in Republican districts. Renewables now contribute 21% of U.S. electricity generation, a remarkable increase since 2008, underscoring the economic and environmental case for clean energy.
Todd Khozein, CEO of SecondMuse, emphasizes that the growth of green technology is clear, with Texas emerging as a leader in solar energy and clean energy initiatives driving innovation and economic opportunities across the country.
While obstacles remain, such as potential policy rollbacks, the resilience of state-led initiatives and the affordability of renewables sparks hope for the clean energy shift.
