Clean technologies are no longer background projects tucked away in research labs. They are reshaping how the U.S. lights its cities, fuels its industries, and imagines its economic future. Across the country, several breakthroughs are gaining remarkable momentum, each helping to redefine the nation's energy story. Take solar, for instance. For decades, the promise of limitless, affordable power from the sun seemed just out of reach. Now, perovskite cells are changing the equation. Combined with silicon in tandem designs, they produce more electricity at lower cost, unlocking new possibilities for both rooftop panels and sprawling utility farms. In another corner of the energy world, the oil and gas sector is undergoing its own transformation. Once driven by brute force and heavy infrastructure, operations are now guided by digital ecosystems that tie together subsurface modeling, production forecasting, and asset optimization. AI, cloud computing, and advanced analytics are making it possible to see the entire value chain in real time. Efficiency is rising, emissions are falling, and decisions are sharper. The industry is beginning to balance the realities of hydrocarbon output with the urgency of low-carbon commitments.Meanwhile, engines that once symbolized emissions are being reimagined as part of the solution. Innovators in the U.S. are advancing hydrogen and natural gas combustion designs that achieve higher thermal efficiency while cutting pollutants. Dual-fuel and hydrogen-ready engines open doors for industries where electrification is not yet practical, offering a bridge from the present to a hydrogen-powered future.Together, these advances mark a turning point. They signal a shift from incremental improvements to transformative change, moving the U.S. toward an energy future defined by innovation, resilience, and sustainability.In this edition, we spotlight Tandem PV for its pioneering solar advancements. We also feature insights from Leslie Myers, Product Manager, Renewables at Puget Sound Energy, and Chris Shelton, Senior Vice President | Chief Product Officer | President, AES Next at The AES Corporation [ETR: AES], on the future of clean energy.
