In just under a year, companies have announced or moved forward with projects accounting for more than 211,350 new clean energy jobs for electricians, mechanics, construction workers, technicians, support staff, and many others.

One Year of our Clean Energy Boom

Since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)'s landmark climate and clean energy investments became law in August 2022, companies have been racing forward with massive investments to build our clean energy future.

Clean Energy Boom in House Republican Districts

Since the landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became law in August 2022, the private sector has been racing forward with massive investments to build our clean energy future. At the same time as this massive clean energy boom is creating jobs in communities across the country, MAGA extremists in Congress have chosen this moment to try to repeal the IRA, killing clean energy jobs and reversing our nation’s clean energy progress. All of this is made more confusing by the fact that more than half of clean energy projects that have been announced or moved forward since the passage of the IRA are located in districts represented by House Republicans. In short, Republican MAGA extremists in Congress are ready to kill new, good paying jobs coming to their own districts to play politics and prioritize their oil and gas allies.
