With a new pro-science, pro-climate action administration in the White House, there are more pathways — and far greater political will — than ever before for the clean energy transition. The question is now less about what can be done to act on climate, and more about how soon. But how quickly can the new administration turn around a gutted EPA, myriad environmental law rollbacks, and a legacy of climate denial from fossil fuel companies

How does power shape our climate and our future? For young activists, speaking climate truth to power can be daunting when climate change is here and now and your future seems in doubt. “No little girl is like dreaming and she's like, I hope to spend the rest of my life desperately fighting against this massive catastrophe,” says Jamie Margolin, co-founder of the youth climate justice organization Zero Hour.

For decades, hydrogen has held promise as a revolutionary tool in the clean energy transition. It can be a fuel and energy carrier. The hydrogen fuel cell was once seen as a breakthrough technology, basically a battery that could be continually refueled – “you put in hydrogen and oxygen and you get electricity, heat, and water out. So the emissions are just water,” says Joe Romm, author of “The Hype About Hydrogen.” When made from renewable energy, hydrogen can be a carbon-free fuel. But it has other challenges.

The Trump administration has taken aim at green energy, but one technology has largely been left untouched: batteries to store wind and solar electricity. Up to now, the industry has been booming.
