Since the landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became law in August 2022, companies are racing forward with massive investments to build our clean energy future. New manufacturing in wind, solar, batteries, and electric vehicles — along with storage projects across the country — means new, good-paying jobs for hard-working Americans.
In the months since the landmark climate and clean energy investments became law, clean energy companies have announced or moved forward with 191 projects accounting for more than 140,000 new clean energy jobs for electricians, mechanics, construction workers, technicians, support staff, and many others.
