How One Person’s Impact Can Unlock Gigawatts of Energy

Matt Traldi, co-founder of Greenlight America, joins Steph Speirs to unpack the “hidden” political friction points stalling the U.S. energy transition.

Learn why showing up to a single Tuesday night hearing can have the same carbon impact as planting 4 million trees, and how Matt’s journey from labor unions and the Obama-era EPA led him to tackle the organizing gap in the clean energy revolution.
