Governor Tom Wolf today told the first-ever Global Clean Energy Action Forum (GCEAF) about Pennsylvania's significant progress in the transition to clean energy and vowed that the commonwealth will continue to be a leader in energy innovation.
"I'm proud to have the chance to highlight the work that is being done here in Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania to create the change we need to see," Governor Wolf said. "The transition to a clean-energy future is a necessity for the economy, for workers, and for the environment. And just like we always have, Pennsylvania is going to be on the leading edge."
The governor addressed the plenary session of the assembly, organized by the U.S. Department of Energy to bring together the world's energy leaders, researchers, innovators and advocates to share ideas and information on the transition to clean energy.
The GCEAF's primary goals for this inaugural gathering are to showcase U.S. global leadership on clean-energy deployment and innovation, reinforce clean-energy transitions as a national security imperative and create opportunities for U.S. private sector in the global clean-energy marketplace.
