In June 2017, E2 released “Opportunity Lost: How Rolling Back the Clean Power Plan Hurts America’s Economy.”
The Trump Administration’s effort to unwind the Clean Power Plan (CPP) represents a failure to capitalize on the economic and environmental benefits of clean energy.
Analysis shows that the CPP could create up to 560,000 jobs and add $52 billion to the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2030. From states with relatively small populations like Maine and Montana to highly populated states like Florida, the CPP could have substantial employment and economic benefits – benefits that would disappear with the Trump Administration’s repeal of the policy.
Policymakers should oppose any efforts to weaken or rescind the CPP because doing so would reduce the employment and economic opportunities that come with it. Policymakers should also pursue other smart clean energy policies that support great efficiency, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and grid modernization efforts, which would further grow our nation’s economy while accelerating the urgently needed transition to a low-carbon future

View Report »In December 2016, E2 and E4TheFuture released Energy Efficiency Jobs in America, which found that energy efficiency is a massive employer with 1.9 million jobs nationwide and thousands of jobs in each and every state.
A The report, based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data and a survey of tens of thousands of businesses across the country, provides detailed breakdowns of clean energy jobs not available previously, and it was developed and released in connection with a major U.S. Department of Energy study of all energy jobs in America.
The report was a follow-up to Clean Jobs America, a comprehensive clean energy jobs analysis released in March 2016 showing that 2.5 million Americans work in the clean energy sector.

The Navy, too, has recognized the value of energy efficiency both to its operations and to taxpayers:
E2 has been tracking the clean energy jobs sector closely since 2011, when we noticed an outpouring of stories questioning the health and growth of the clean energy economy. This just didn’t agree with the reality we’re seeing in our daily work.
All across America, we’re witnessing clean energy jobs being created almost every day — helping to rebuild our economy, address our energy problems, and improve our national security. So E2, whose 850+ members represent a broad cross-section of business leaders, including many on the front lines of clean energy, set out to document this growth.
In addition to Clean Jobs America, E2 for five years released quarterly reports showing a nationwide sampling of clean energy jobs announcements.
Clean energy in Colorado has been steadily increasing in recent years. In this report, E2 outlines specific measures Colorado can take to improve its clean energy economy, including strengthening the RPS, incentivizing electric vehicles, and shoring up energy efficiency standards.
