MY PHILOSOPHY ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY It is becoming increasingly important for each of us to contribute to environmental and societal solutions in any way we can. As individuals, we can make a difference by making better decisions such as turning off unused lights or buying energy-efficient products. It is critical for corporations to identify innovative solutions that have positive environmental, societal and economic benefits. At Advanced Energy, I am focused on finding and implementing innovative solutions to transportation to help usher in the next generation of clean vehicles.
