WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT CLIMATE POWER’S NEW 100,000+ CLEAN ENERGY JOBS REPORT

DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm: My favorite kind of headline. @POTUS did that.

Washington, DC — Yesterday, Climate Power released a new report and launched a campaign spotlighting America’s rapidly growing clean energy economy, which will employ Americans of all backgrounds, particularly working class communities. Thanks in part to the Inflation Reduction Act, Climate Power found that since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, over 100,000 clean energy jobs have been announced in 31 states with over 90 new clean energy projects in small towns and bigger cities nationwide totaling $89.5 billion in new private sector investments. 

Here are just a few reactions from the groundbreaking report:
