The Clean Economy Project, founded by former staffers of Bill Gates's Breakthrough Energy, aims to advance clean energy initiatives following the disbandment of Breakthrough's energy policy team. The organization, which consists of ten members, is supported by over ten undisclosed funders, including philanthropists and venture capitalists. Its primary objectives are to expedite the development of energy projects, foster innovation to reduce costs, and mitigate risks associated with private investments in clean energy sectors. The establishment of this nonprofit comes after Gates's decision to cut the lobbying group due to perceived challenges in influencing the Trump administration's energy policies.
