Statement from E2 Advocate Andy Wunder and Paired Power Inc. CCO Mark Bauhaus San Francisco, CA (September 10, 2018) – Today, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law one of the most ambitious clean energy policies in the world, accelerating and raising California’s current Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) to 60% by 2030 and establishing a […]
On September 12-14, the world will converge on San Francisco for the first-of-its-kind Global Climate Action Summit. Hosted by California Governor Jerry Brown and others, the Summit will gather international, subnational, business and other private sector leaders from around the world to discuss solutions to the world’s most pressing climate issues. Please join E2 for […]
A 352 MW Offshore Wind Farm would produce on average 4,800 jobs in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina For every $1 spent building offshore wind, $1.52 to $1.83 would be generated for states’ economies Over $430 million in state, local, and federal tax revenue would be raised during construction WASHINGTON, […]
The U.S. offshore wind industry is poised for substantial growth, thanks to falling costs and increasing recognition by state and federal policy makers that there are tremendous economic benefits in harnessing clean, renewable energy offshore. BW Research, on behalf of E2, found that if each of the five states below added an average-sized offshore wind energy farm (352 MW) nearly 25,000 construction and operational jobs would be created up and down the eastern seaboard. The Department of Interior is developing lease sales for a strong pipeline of projects in this region—28 in total—which could equal 23,735 MW of new generating capacity, which if all developed would result in tens of thousands of more jobs and added economic benefits for those states. Through its expected growth over the next several years, offshore wind energy has the potential to significantly add to the Gross Regional Product (GRP) and state and federal tax revenues of South and North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York.
If New York, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina added an average-sized offshore wind energy farm (352 MW), nearly 25,000 jobs and $3.6 billion would be added to the states’ economies.

According to an analysis of every California legislative district released by E2 in August 2018, more than 519,000 Californians now work in clean energy industries, and more than $49 billion in public and private clean energy economy investments have been injected into the state. This job growth and investment is driven by California’s climate policies, including its leading Renewables Portfolio Standard and landmark cap-and-trade legislation, which reduces pollution while increasing clean energy production and energy efficiency.
The state’s climate policies also have cut emissions by the equivalent of taking 17.6 million cars off the road and more than two thirds of the $2 billion in clean energy investments stemming from cap-and-trade have gone specifically towards benefiting disadvantaged communities around the state.
For a look at the jobs and economic benefits that have resulted from California’s climate policies for each and every legislative district in the state, please see below:–

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.
