Today we said goodbye to one of our interns this summer. Tom O'Neil, together with Laura Padilla, George Jonson, and Griffin Johns were some of the best summer interns Clean Energy Trust has worked with. 

Tom wrote some thoughts about what it was like to work with CET this summer. Read below for a behind-the-scenes view of how we make the #cleantech magic happen. 

Today across the Twitterverse, people are celebrating #StartupDay2014. Startups are accelerating new innovations, creating jobs, and solving tough 21st century challenges every day. 

Bill Gates says it all!

Last Friday the national announcement of the Department of Energy's $3.2M investment in a network of national clean energy initiative was announced in Chicago. CET was proud to be awarded $745,000 in conjunction with NextEnergy in Michigan to further build out the Midwest clean energy ecosystem. 

Exciting news to share about a Clean Energy Challenge alum! SiNode, a 2012 Clean Energy Challenge participant based in Evanston, IL, will receive $1 million in funding through the U.S. Dept of Energy - Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE).

To celebrate fathers, children, and families everywhere - we wanted to give you a peek inside some of the proud papas of CET and share how they think about clean energy development and the world we'll leave to future generations. 

This Earth Day, tell us what Clean Energy means to you.

We're so excited to launch our Clean Jobs Illinois report today to announce that there are 96,875 clean energy workers that are helping to power Illinois forward!
