For over forty years Applied Materials has made energy efficiency the core of their work as they transform our lives through bold technological advances. Their innovation in solar technology alone has been a vital force in our move away from fossil fuels. | Working with the Natural Resources Defense Council, the E2 network (the independent business voice for the environment) proves that sound environmental and economic policies are necessary partners in the 21st Century. E2’s effort in passing and defending California’s groundbreaking Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) makes this network a truly important champion for California and the world. |
