Trump’s policies are already threatening our energy independence – and Congressional Republicans would make it that much worse. Since November, over $86 billion in investments have been put at risk

Washington, D.C. — As Senate Republicans weigh the House reconciliation bill — which slashes key clean energy investments — Trump’s policies have already dealt a major blow to America’s clean energy sector. Following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, this sector quickly became a booming engine of growth, revitalizing economically struggling manufacturing towns, particularly in red states. Since Trump’s election, however, 142 clean energy projects have been threatened, delayed, or canceled, representing $86.76 billion in investment and 91,631 announced jobs. 

Nearly half of these lost jobs are in red states. A full list of impacted projects can be found here. 

Climate Power executive director Lori Lodes issued the following statement: 

“If the goal is energy independence and reshoring manufacturing jobs, Trump’s policies — and the House Republican proposal — are delivering the exact opposite. At a time when the demand for energy is higher than ever, we need more American-made clean energy or prices will go through the roof and we will cede the future to China. Senate Republicans must reverse House Republicans’ job-killing policies, lower utility costs, and restore momentum in one of the country’s fastest-growing job sectors: clean energy.”

Since Trump’s election, clean energy companies have announced at least:
