A study commissioned by E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs), the American Council on Renewable Energy and the Clean Energy Leadership Institute found that in 2019, more than 3.3 million Americans worked in clean energy jobs – renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean vehicles and fuels – nearly three times the number in fossil fuels.
Last year’s pandemic-triggered economic crash caused a net loss of 500,000 clean energy jobs. But the E2 report sees an opening for a rapid rebound.
