Innovation + Clean Energy: A Powerful Solution for Economic Recovery
Arizona is emerging as a national leader in technology and innovation, including the development and adoption of clean and renewable energy solutions. As we look ahead to the state’s post-COVID economic recovery, the clean energy sector has the potential to play a significant role.
