In a statement e-mailed to CleanTechnica, Bob Keefe, executive director of environmental advocacy group E2, says, “Cities are seeing the benefits of shifting to clean energy, with jobs and economic growth. These are good jobs in energy efficiency, construction, manufacturing, renewable energy and clean fuels and vehicles. And they shouldn’t be ignored by lawmakers as they’re considering state and federal energy policies.” E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs) “is a national, nonpartisan group of business leaders, investors and others who advocate for smart policies that are good for the environment and good for the economy.”
