America’s veterans know:
Clean energy is real energy security.
Because they understand, perhaps more than anyone, that building America’s future means building our energy at home with strength, reliability, and resilience. Veterans are stepping up for clean energy because it protects national security, powers American innovation, and drives economic strength.
Whether deployed overseas or serving at home, they’ve seen how vulnerable energy supply chains can be. That’s why so many veterans are choosing to lead the charge in American energy independence. Today, nearly 1 in 10 clean energy workers is a veteran, a higher rate than nearly any other industry. They’re not just showing up; they’re speaking up, calling on policymakers to strengthen our country by accelerating clean energy.
Meet the Veteran Faces of Clean Energy
Veterans understand the stakes. They know that energy dominance, reliable American manufacturing, and secure supply chains are critical to our self-determination. They are vocal advocates for reforming outdated permitting processes, expanding domestic energy production, including hydropower and nuclear, and beating global competitors by leading the world in all-of-the-above energy.
In testimonials, American veterans call the transition to clean energy a national security imperative.
Ray Mabus, former Navy Secretary, urges leaders to ramp up U.S. clean energy production to strengthen national defense and economic resilience.
