    We must ensure these innovations reach everyone, not just those who can afford to pay. Our newest commitment to the COVID-19 response is our largest to date, but only a fraction of what is needed.

    The world now has much of the science it needs to end this pandemic, and as regulators start to put their stamp of approval on it, the field of action is widening. So how do we deliver this science equitably?

    I believe we can avoid a climate disaster—if we deploy the clean-energy tools we have now wisely, and if we make big breakthroughs that touch every aspect of our physical economy. Creating the National Institutes of Energy Innovation would put us on the right path.
