CATF’s main mission is reinventing the energy system in both conventional and innovative ways. It is looking into several clean energy sources, not only wind and solar, but renewable bioenergy, nuclear, zero-carbon fuels, and superhot rock energy. It also reevaluates existing technology, such as removing carbon from fossil fuels in order to make changes that are not only effective, but practical.

The organization was originally established in order to require older coal plants to follow the regulations set for newer plants. Within a year, it helped enact the U.S. Power Plant Pollution Campaign, which included novel studies of how coal plants impacted health to decrease their emissions. As a result of this campaign, 13,000 lives are saved annually and the amount of pollution released by power plants has decreased dramatically.

CATF encourages the advancement of sustainable energy, but recognize the inconsistencies of wind and solar energy production, along with the difficulties and high cost of storing energy produced in excess. As a result, it advocates for energy alternatives that are both sustainable and reliable.

CATF uses logical and straightforward methods to escalate the development of alternative energy sources. To grow support for bioenergy, it prides itself in educating others on the different forms of biofuel and investing in the bioenergy that benefits the environment. CATF funds both private and government nuclear plants to decrease cost and speed, and it addresses the stigma associated with nuclear power’s history.

CATF is determined to make durable changes that will persevere despite dramatic political or economical shifts. It uses experts to advocate for policies and technology, and regularly publishes articles to update others on its progress. It is an excellent organization to donate to, as it has made a substantial impact and has plans to make even more change in an efficient and intelligent manner.

CATF was the organization I chose to donate some of the proceeds I earn from selling jewelry! I love the issues it confronts and how it approaches them in a pragmatic way. I’ve previously discussed my appreciation for nuclear energy, and not only does this company endorse it, but it also supports many other alternative energy sources. It’s open to new solutions but realistic nonetheless, and I really admire that.

I was fascinated by “superhot rock” energy, and upon looking into CATF’s page on it, I’m captivated by the concept and I will definitely write a piece about it in the future. However, I have some other topics I’d like to cover soon, so that might have to wait until another day. Stay tuned to learn with me!
