We need more money focusing on climate solutions. But we also need to deploy money far better — on effective solutions, in the right timeframes, in the right geographic locations, while maximizing benefits. We can make climate funding 2x, 5x, and maybe even 10x more impactful per dollar.

Thermal batteries aren’t coming. They’re already here.
Half of all operating thermal batteries came online since 2025. Policy, not technology, is now the main constraint.
