Ryan Kohlman cites data from E2’s “Clean Jobs Colorado” report in an article supporting Gov. Hickenlooper’s executive order ensuring Colorado adopts advanced vehicles standards. “According to the just-released “Clean Jobs Colorado” report from the Rocky Mountain chapter of the national, nonpartisan business group E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs) and Golden-based Energy Efficiency Business Coalition, more than 57,500 […]
The Auto Channel amplifies E2’s recent release of the report, “Macroeconomic Analysis of Clean Vehicle Scenarios for Colorado,” with the backdrop of Gov. Hickenlooper’s recent announcement that Colorado will be joining 13 other states in adopting tougher, California-style emissions standards for vehicles.
Louisa Burwood-Taylor cites E2 co-founder and chair, Nicole Lederer, in an article discussing the Senate Agriculture Committee’s passing of its version of the 2018 Farm Bill – one that included provisions aimed at promoting soil health. “This initiative — and to successfully include soil health and carbon provisions in the Senate farm bill — was a […]
As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moves to weaken federal greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations for light-duty vehicles, Colorado is moving to counter the negative affects to our air quality, reduced consumer fuel savings and the stifling of our budding auto electrification industry, by adopting Advanced Clean Car Standards. When complete, Colorado will join the 12 states that have adopted the Clean Cars standards—which promise to promote technology improvements, create jobs, ensure that American auto manufacturers remain competitive internationally, and lower emissions.
This study analyzed the macroeconomic impacts of a Clean Vehicles scenario in which Colorado enacts more aggressive GHG emission standards and pursues increased electric vehicle (EV) penetration, relative to a baseline in which GHG standards remain constant at federally set 2020 levels and EV adoption remains low. The study used the IMPLAN economic input-output model to evaluate impacts on employment and gross domestic product (GDP) over the period from 2020 through 2035.
The analysis found that the pursuit of a cleaner, light-duty passenger vehicle fleet is likely to result in small but positive long-term macroeconomic impacts in Colorado. We estimate average annual increases of approximately $72 million in GDP and 1,700 jobs under the Clean Vehicles scenario. While these impacts are small in the context of the nearly $350 billion total Colorado economy, the net positive impacts of cleaner vehicles are expected to grow over time as fuel savings accumulate and EVs become cheaper. This report’s findings indicate that Colorado can achieve the health and environmental benefits of vehicle emission reductions while continuing to strengthen its economy.

View Report »Missouri’s clean energy economy is clearly thriving.
But where is all this economic activity happening?
That’s exactly what E2 — along with our partners at FracTracker Alliance — attempted to find out with this series of interactive maps showing the location of more than 400 clean energy businesses across the state as well as sites where renewable energy is generated.
The purpose of these maps is to help policymakers, the media, and individuals better understand the scope of Missouri’s clean energy economy – and how much room it has to grow.
We’ve done our best to capture as many businesses as possible but if you know we’ve missed something, please send an email to Micaela Preskill ([email protected]) and we’ll add it to the map. This map isn’t comprehensive; it represents one snapshot in time of an industry to help you understand just how robust it is, and where it still has room to grow.
We’ve created 3 maps to show different parts of Missouri’s clean energy economy. One map shows clean energy businesses, one shows renewable energy utility-scale infrastructure, and one shows renewable energy potential.
When viewing the map, zoom in to see the intricacies of what’s happening in each part of the state. If you click “Layers” on the black bar at the top of the map you will see a drop-down menu, which you can use to make data appear or disappear on the map.
For more information about what you’re seeing, click directly on the map. A pop-up box will appear to show you specifics. Use the arrows on the top right of the pop-up box to see all the information that applies to that spot on the map. For example, if you click on a pin representing a energy efficiency contractor, you’ll see information about that business. You can also use the arrow to see what legislative districts that business is in.
The Clean Energy Business Map shows locations of energy efficiency contractors and solar, wind and geothermal installers.
The Renewable Energy Infrastructure Map shows utility-scale wind and solar generation facilities larger than 1 MW and schools with solar energy generation.
The Renewable Potential Map shows the potential for wind, geothermal and solar power generation.

Ohio’s clean energy industry is a significant part of the economy.
But where is all this economic activity happening?
That’s exactly what E2 — along with our partners at FracTracker Alliance — attempted to find out with this interactive map showing the location of clean energy businesses across the state as well as sites where renewable energy is generated.
The purpose of this map is to help policymakers, press and individuals better understand the scope of Ohio’s clean energy economy – and how much room it has to grow.
Strong clean energy standards in Ohio have supported the growth of a healthy industry. There are clean energy businesses in 92 out of Ohio’s 99 state house legislative districts. In particular, energy efficiency contractors dominate the map.

Clean energy creates jobs, supports local tax bases and infrastructure development, while providing new opportunities for farmers—driving economic benefits that are becoming ever more apparent. In rural communities facing economic challenges, investments in wind, solar, and energy efficiency are growing. This report from E2 focuses on one part of America – the rural Midwest – that exemplifies the growth in clean energy jobs in rural areas nationwide.
More than 8,000 new rural clean energy jobs were added in the 12-state Midwest region stretching from Ohio to North Dakota in 2016 alone, bringing the total number of rural Americans who work in clean energy in this region to nearly 148,000 (see Figure 1)—nearly a 6 percent increase over 2015. Of those 148,000 jobs, almost 22,000 are in renewable energy generation, with the rest in energy efficiency and sustainable transportation.
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.
