New Report Shows Threats to Clean Energy Jobs and Investments

The climate action group Climate Power has released its updated report on progress toward clean energy jobs since passage of the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. The news is mixed, containing both real progress 2023-24, followed by new threats of rollbacks this year under the second Trump Administration.

The report’s lead paragraph reads, “In just two years, clean energy incentives sparked a historic surge in U.S. factory construction and created over 400,000 new jobs. Now, though, President Trump is moving quickly to dismantle key parts of the sector, which would crush this U.S. manufacturing renaissance, raise energy costs, and stifle American innovation with impacts reaching decades into the future.” See the full report here, and see the detailed North Carolina fact sheet here.
