CLEAN ENERGY JOBS REPORT
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.
The Trump administration’s actions, from tariffs to executive orders clawing back clean energy loans, have created chaos and uncertainty for American businesses and workers. Across all clean energy companies, over 60,000 jobs have already been threatened or lost since Trump’s election.

“Trump’s war on clean energy and his chaotic policies have already caused a hemorrhaging of manufacturing jobs in sectors that had been booming for two years,” said Lori Lodes, Executive Director of Climate Power. “Repealing clean energy investments would jeopardize hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs on its own. On top of this crisis of uncertainty, repeal would devastate American manufacturing — halting construction, sending jobs overseas, hiking energy costs, and forfeiting the future to China and our other competitors.”
