we already know what we need to do

our work and vision is about how

about us

The Earthshot Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2008 in Washington, DC to: 1) protect and preserve our natural capital and livable planet; 2) by accelerating a clean and abundant energy transition; while, 3) designing prosperous, intelligent and sustainable systems for all. We declared long ago that we already know what we need to do, and that the energy of tomorrow is the energy of today.  We support the  motives truths, practiced methods and unifying missions of those who show us why and how-to - the Terranauts. 

a terranaut explores the motive truths . . . Can we produce energy cleanly? While overcoming the ecological, carbon and climate concerns we confront? And produce it securely, with safe supply and infrastructure, while fortifying fragile grids? Can we produce energy affordably, prosperously?
