Senator Heinrich: A 100% Clean Energy Grid Is ‘Completely Doable’

Democratic Senator Martin Heinrich is the son of a utility lineman, and one of just a few engineers in Congress.

Clean energy piqued the New Mexico lawmaker’s interest at an early age, while he was building and racing solar-powered cars in college. But for most of his life, he says, it was hard to imagine a world in which renewables could power more than 20 or 30 percent of the electric grid.

Today, Heinrich’s outlook is different. “We can have a future reliable, cheap, resilient grid that is 100 percent powered by clean energy,” he said in an interview on Greentech Media’s Political Climate podcast.
