The Clean Energy Corps – described by the Department of Energy (DOE) as “a team of dedicated individuals who are determined to use their skills and their know-how to save the planet” – is made up of staff from more than a dozen offices across the department including current employees and new hires, who will work together to research, develop, demonstrate, and deploy solutions to climate change.
Granholm then goes on to outline how the Clean Energy Corps is “looking for folks to help us with pretty much everything” as it deploys the investment under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to meet the nation’s goals of a carbon-free power sector by 2035 and a decarbonised economy by 2050. But now I’ve got this sweet new office over at the Department of Energy,” he says, adding that he has been “putting in some crazy some crazy hours helping out the Clean Energy Corps” before offering a cup of coffee to “Madam Secretary” Granholm.

“You might have seen me at one of my many day jobs – billionaire superhero, world’s greatest detective, alpaca wrangler. You know it, you love it, you live on it – but folks, from this perspective things are starting to look a little dire, climatologically speaking,” Downey – whose on-screen characters have included Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Dolittle – says in the opening scene.
The campaign to recruit “Earth’s mightiest climate heroes” features an animated video voiced by Granholm and Downey.
