CDFA considers a carbon farming market CDFA measures the success of its Healthy Soils incentives program in part by how much carbon is sequestered in the soil. Now the department is considering a proposal to monetize that benefit through a carbon offset market, supplementing the incomes of those farmers. A coalition of businesses and organizations […]
California’s fight against the Trump administration’s plans to roll back commonsense auto emissions and mileage standards may seem surprising to some who live beyond our state’s borders — but only if you ignore that the clean cars bill we passed in 2002 has been, simply put, a major success for California.
Clean Energy Economy Integral to Evergreen StateClean energy is increasingly integral to Washington’s economic growth, as more than five out of every ten jobs in the Evergreen State’s energy economy are now in clean energy industries.
Led by energy efficiency (63K) and renewable energy (11K), Washington’s clean energy economy—now ranked 14th among all 50 states with nearly 84,000 workers—is providing new job opportunities in every metro area, county, and legislative district.While Washington State ranks among the top 15 states for employment in most clean energy categories, its clean energy economy has ample room to grow. In fact, when compared to its west coast neighbors, Washington’s clean energy employment per capita lags behind Oregon and California.
However, by passing a suite of smart, ambitious policies in 2019, the state has made important strides to improve its competitiveness with California and the growing clean economies in the Midwest and Northeast. Paramount among the policy successes in 2019 was the passage of a hallmark 100 percent clean electricity bill (SB 5116).
But significant work remains if Washington State is to realize its full potential and become a true national front-runner in America’s burgeoning clean energy economy. To lead in a rapidly shifting energy market, Washington’s legislature should pass strong measures to cut carbon across all sectors of its economy in the coming legislative sessions, including authorizing a zero-emission vehicle program, a low carbon fuel standard, and an economy-wide cap-and-invest carbon pricing program.
This report focuses solely on the energy sector of the economy and does not include jobs in retail trade, repair services, water or waste management, and indirect employment or induced employment.
Washington ranks among the top 15 states for employment in 10 clean energy categories.
According to Clean Jobs Washington 2019:

U.S. Energy & Employment Report (USEER)
This report follows E2’s Clean Jobs America analysis which found the clean energy jobs account for nearly 3.3 million jobs across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Both reports expand on data from the U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER) produced by the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) in partnership with the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), using data collected and analyzed by the BW Research Partnership. E2 is a partner on the USEER, the fourth installment of the energy survey first released by the Department of Energy in 2016. Clean energy jobs have grown every year since the first report was released in 2016.

Oregon’s Statewide 2019 Clean Energy Jobs Report
Who Are My Representatives?
This job growth and development has been driven by smart policies like the Renewable Portfolio Standard, Clean Fuels Program and Coal to Clean.
But this growth is only scratching the surface of what Oregon’s clean energy economy can achieve according to this latest analysis. By passing the state a cap and invest program during the 2020 legislative cycle, Oregon could nearly double its total clean energy jobs (adding 50,000), increase real GDP 2.5% by 2050, and generate $4.5 billion in proceeds to be invested in communities throughout Oregon by 2030.

Michigan has for decades underinvested in its water infrastructure at the expense of the economy and the health of families in the state. To ensure Michigan’s economy continues to grow — and that all Michiganders enjoy a high quality of life — this gap should be closed.
Fortunately, investing an additional $12.2 billion in Michigan’s own water infrastructure needs on top of existing expenditures would over the next two decades help create nearly 90,000 direct job-years in multiple industries — including good jobs for veterans — while generating about $441.3 million in additional earned income for state residents annually.
This essential spending would also help businesses in the state’s water services industry become national leaders in developing and commercializing new water technologies, just as early-mover states like California have become national leaders in clean tech. And it would ensure that all Michigan industries, whether they are directly or indirectly reliant on clean, affordable water, are in the best position possible for decades of ongoing growth.
But first, we must fix the system.
For the jobs, income and tax revenue data, E2 contracted BW Research which used the Emsi Input-Output model that traces spending and infrastructural developments through the economy to determine the economic impact of the change in water infrastructure spending in the state of Michigan.45
The cumulative effects of the initial job change are quantified and the results are categorized into direct, indirect and induced effects.
