Thank you! I had a thought yesterday - maybe the broader clean energy industry can channel all of our anger into innovation and execution. We can drive down our costs so much and become even more productive that we don’t even need the tax credits anymore. We are already on that path but we can get there even faster.

There would be no sweeter response to this disaster of a bill to install even more clean energy than before. I am not sure it’s possible but I know for myself I have even more conviction than before.

Thank you!

As a young innovator in California, this gives me a spark of motivation, shows us what is possible. Thanks Tom. We’re early in our journey, and amidst all this recent system-scale uncertainty we are clinging as much as we can to our urgency and conviction, a culture of building as you mention—which feels so much more energizing than when we focus on our fear and instinct to caution. Reminds me of something that stuck from Cheaper, Faster, Better - the idea that not acting courageously on your convictions can be the most dangerous choice of all!

With manufacturing in the U.S. feeling on the edge of transformation, curious what key opportunities you see emerging, what roadblocks we should be building solutions for to maximize positive impact amidst this wave?
