“I just visited some of the electric vehicle, solar panel and battery factories popping up throughout the country, and I can tell you definitively we’re in the middle of an American economic revolution like we haven’t seen in generations, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act and other policies,” said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, […]
The majority of new clean energy projects as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act are in GOP districts, according to a Politico analysis based on data from the national business group E2.

The 15 congressional districts that have attracted the most clean energy investments since enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act are led by Republicans, according to a new report by the advocacy group Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2).
The jobs are well-paid and offer opportunities to advance quickly, says Bob Keefe, executive director of E2. He recently visited Qcells’s first solar factory in Dalton, Georgia, where he says he spoke with a worker who had been in the carpet industry, along with the rest of his family. The town calls itself the “carpet […]
E2 only tracks projects that have been publicly announced since the IRA’s signing, and some projects don’t include investment data or job estimates, so the group notes that its numbers are pretty conservative.
