Big News, CalSEED is returning in 2023. If you aren't familiar with it go check it out now. CalSEED is $150,000 grant funding for your idea. Look for more information coming soon. 

In 2021 we got 7 out of 10 predictions right. So for 2022, we made some ambitious predictions. We didn’t do so well on our Fearless Predictions for 2022.  We scored 2 out of 10 correct.  Ouch!   We were spot-on with predictions on new fuel carbon intensity scores from the ARB, and on renewables surpassing coal in their contribution to US electricity supply.  We may turn out to be almost correct on the sales of EV doubling in the year, but time is against us.  The rest we whiffed.  Good thing we are fearless.  Read the details in our blog 

As usual, we've rounded up the best events, industry news and more! Check out all the details below.
We are doing something new. CleanStart wants to better understand what you are thinking about. So we made a short (two required questions) survey. Answer the questions and help us out.
