Meet Bantam Communications
Powering the public will that builds America's energy future.
Built to power what's next
Bantam was born out of a simple but urgent need: to bring subject-matter expertise, strategic muscle, and a clear-eyed vision to the frontlines of America’s energy future. From day one, we’ve been mission-driven—building a team of campaigners, collaborators, and communicators who understand what it takes to move complex projects forward.
We don’t just help projects get built—we shape the environments where they can succeed. By fusing deep local insight with national perspective, we help our partners unlock reliable, abundant, community-backed energy solutions. Together, we’re powering what’s next.
Our Team
We’re a team of campaigners, strategists, and builders focused on moving America forward.
From the ground game to the big picture, we know what it takes to turn public will into real-world impact.
The Changing Face of American Energy
Change is underway, but it’s not guaranteed. Across technologies and across time, America’s energy future is being built today.
Solar
Feature one
Solar energy is fast, flexible, and one of the most proven pathways to powering communities and strengthening the grid with clean, reliable electricity. With costs plummeting and deployment accelerating, solar is no longer an alternative — it's foundational to America's energy future. Utility-scale solar projects deliver economic opportunity, energy independence, and climate progress at scale.
17M+
U.S. homes could be powered annually by the nation’s utility-scale solar generation.
-90%
Drop in the cost of solar panels since 2009, making solar one of the most affordable sources of electricity in history.
Wind
Feature two
Wind energy is one of the most scalable, cost-effective tools we have to strengthen America’s power grid and reduce emissions. Modern wind projects generate clean electricity at utility scale, deliver long-term tax revenue to rural communities, and support thousands of skilled jobs across the country. With abundant land resources and proven technology, wind is already a cornerstone of the U.S. energy mix — and its potential is just beginning to be tapped.
10%
Of all U.S. electricity is now generated by wind — more than any other renewable source.
120,000+
Americans are employed in the wind industry, from manufacturing to maintenance and construction.
Battery Storage
Feature three
Battery storage is the key to a reliable, flexible, and modern power grid. It allows clean energy to be stored and delivered when it’s needed most — stabilizing supply, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and improving grid resilience. As deployment scales and costs fall, BESS is transforming how we balance generation and demand, making it possible to build an energy system that’s not just cleaner, but smarter.
10x
Growth in installed U.S. battery storage capacity over the last five years.
90%
Of new large-scale batteries are paired with solar or wind projects — unlocking round-the-clock clean power.
Transmission
Feature four
Transmission is the connective tissue of the energy transition. It moves electricity from where it’s generated to where it’s needed, unlocking the full potential of wind, solar, and storage projects across the country. Upgrading and expanding the grid not only improves reliability — it also drives down costs, reduces congestion, and enables a more resilient, decarbonized energy system.
$700B
In clean energy projects are currently waiting on transmission approvals and interconnection.
80%
Of planned renewable capacity additions through 2025 depend on new or upgraded transmission lines.
Geothermal Energy
Feature four
Geothermal energy delivers clean, reliable power around the clock — no matter the weather. By tapping into the Earth’s natural heat, geothermal offers firm, low-carbon electricity and thermal energy with a minimal land footprint. With new technologies expanding its reach, geothermal is uniquely positioned to strengthen grid reliability, support decarbonization, and provide long-term economic benefits to host communities.
24/7
Geothermal provides constant, on-demand clean energy — unlike variable sources.
90+ GW
Of U.S. geothermal potential could be unlocked with next-generation technologies, expanding access far beyond traditional hotspots.
Nuclear
Feature four
Nuclear energy provides zero-emission, always-on power that supports a stable, decarbonized grid. Today’s nuclear technologies — including advanced and small modular reactors — offer new opportunities to deliver clean energy in more locations with smaller footprints and enhanced safety. As demand for firm, low-carbon power grows, nuclear stands ready to complement renewables and help meet ambitious energy and climate goals.
50%
Of the U.S.’s carbon-free electricity already comes from nuclear power.
300+
New small modular reactor (SMR) projects are under consideration worldwide, signaling a global resurgence in advanced nuclear.
Fusion
Feature four
Fusion energy holds the promise of limitless, zero-carbon power using the same process that fuels the sun. With no long-lived waste and virtually no risk of meltdown, fusion combines immense energy potential with an unparalleled safety profile. As public and private investment accelerates, fusion is moving from the realm of research to reality — and could become a transformative tool in the decades ahead.
$6B+
Invested in private fusion companies globally, signaling rapid acceleration in the field.
10x
Increase in fusion energy output achieved in recent U.S. laboratory tests — a key milestone toward viability.
