Greentech Media quotes Grant Carlisle, E2 Advocacy director, in an article on Trump’s budget cuts and its effects on clean energy programs.

Grant Carlisle equates budget cuts to job loss, saying the budget puts “businesses and millions of clean energy workers at risk.”

“This budget is cutting costs by refusing to invest in the future,” said Carlisle. “America can’t lead in clean energy or vehicle technologies if it ignores the fastest growing energy sources and punishes businesses developing them. U.S. companies can’t invest in new technologies if we don’t fund the research that takes them from demonstration to commercialization.”
