The California Energy Commission recently recognized six individuals, including Indian American teenager Kaushik Tota, with its inaugural 2020 Clean Energy Hall of Fame awards.
The awards recognize individuals who have made exceptional contributions in their local communities by helping California advance its clean energy goals.
The awards aim to motivate and inspire all stakeholders to continue to lead California to a 100 percent clean energy future for all by 2045, according to the commission in a news release.
In addition to Tota, who was named a Youth Game-Changer, others honored included James OâBannon with the Lifetime Achievement Award; and Rey Leon, Eddie Price, Pamela Quan and Arla Ramsey as Clean Energy Champions.

Nearly two years ago, Greta Thunberg declared that “our house is on fire” at the World Economic Forum. She wasn’t the only one who saw that fire.
Here in California, we could see the flames quite literally. As wildfires tore through the state, many teenagers felt a fire light in ourselves as well. We decided that it was time to stand up for our futures, just as Greta had done a continent and an ocean away from us. We began to show our fire wherever we went in our homes, on the streets, in front of the offices of legislatures.
