I appreciate the honor from #Time100, something I never could have imagined, but I’m just a piece of this story. Under @SecGranholm's leadership and the hard work of our team @ENERGY we are rebuilding America together, in red & blue states, seizing leadership from China in clean energy industries now and for decades ahead. @POTUS’s vision was dismissed by a lot of people as political rhetoric that could never happen. But here we are, building entire new supply chains here at home, with hundreds of thousands of jobs already announced from Georgia to Michigan to Arizona. These investments are making real progress toward the climate goals we need to hit for our kids’ futures, but they’re also—for the first time—giving us cheaper, cleaner energy choices right now. Capitalism needs competition, and now nobody will have a monopoly on American energy.
Together we've: - relaunched the dormant LPO platform and built out the team to support the office’s expanded loan authority granted by Congress - established a private-sector led, government-enabled approach to the energy transition, engaging hundreds of stakeholder organizations across the U.S. energy landscape in the past three years - issued nearly $26 billion in conditional commitments and closed loans to 18 projects since 2021 and built out a robust application pipeline that stands at $262.2 B today, @ENERGY and #DOELPO team, the honor is truly yours!

Few are as deserving! Leading America out of fossil fuel era is a noble pursuit. There’s a saying that if you solving problems that can be solved in your lifetime, then you aren’t working on big enough problems. Jigar Shah IS solving the biggest multigenerational problems in his own lifetime No surprise to me that you’re a TIME 100
