The motto of Utah is ‘Life Elevated’. When I think about the work we’re doing at Vivint Solar and the great strides we’ve made as a state with our vast solar potential and forward-looking approach to clean energy, I think this motto applies perfectly. It’s our responsibility to get off the sidelines and join the fight to build a brighter and more resilient future powered by clean, renewable energy for generations to come. That is ‘Elevated Living’ in action.

"From agriculture to our ski industry, from recreation to water security, our changing climate poses real threats to Utah's economy. Path to Positive will help business and community leaders engage in consecutive dialogue before it is too late."

Past Utah State Director, The Nature Conservancy

“I applaud Utah Clean Energy for initiating Path to Positive Utah, to inform business people like myself about the risks of climate change to our employees, our families and our communities. We’re seeing the impact of climate change all over the world, and in our home state too. Utah’s poor air quality is not a “winter” or “inversion-only” issue any more. Utah’s temperatures have undeniably increased and exacerbated year-round ozone pollution and the risk of wild fires. We as a community need to ‘own’ our climate change issues and have serious conversations about what we are going to do to turn it around. Our present and future wellbeing depends on it.”
