Washington, D.C. – An innovative nonpartisan organization called Clean Tomorrow launched this week to work across the ideological spectrum to pass solutions to advance clean energy now. The women-led group is founded by the next generation of energy and climate thinkers who are at the cutting edge of climate policy.

Clean Tomorrow will advance policies that reduce climate emissions by turning policy ambition into action that catalyzes rapid change and accelerates the innovation and growth of clean energy.
​
“We are the climate closers identifying near-term opportunities – 5 years or less – for policy progress and seizing on those opportunities,” said Lindsey Baxter Griffith, Chief Executive Officer for Clean Tomorrow. “We will move climate policy forward by finding short-term solutions and innovations that build support, systems, and infrastructure to reduce emissions through the growth of clean energy. Despite the polarized political environment, there are policy opportunities in front of us right now that have support and the American people want.”

Clean Tomorrow has an outcome-driven mission to re-imagine the innovation pipeline, support clean energy reforms, and build an industrial climate policy that isn’t subjected to the whims of partisan politics.

The group’s policy priorities include:

• Energy Deployment: align community and developer incentives to improve infrastructure completion timelines.
• Industrial Growth: build and make products and energy domestically, and make it cleaner​.
• Innovation Economy: improve our federal investments in American innovation in the coming years 

The group is founded by:
