U.S. clean energy manufacturing

Since 2021, the United States has experienced a clean energy manufacturing renaissance, with over $200 billion in announced investments and more than 250,000 jobs.

Recent Trump Administration policies and cuts to clean energy tax credits have slowed investment growth and led to cancellations of previously announced clean energy projects. Today’s anti-clean energy policies threaten progress achieved over the last few years.

Environmental Defense Fund and Atlas Public Policy are tracking clean energy investment announcements – and cancellations – throughout the United States. Our monthly fact sheets show the state of play in clean manufacturing.

Creating paying jobs and economic development across the nation

Clean energy manufacturing projects announced in recent years provide American jobs and stimulate the economy. The historic investments in clean energy spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) accelerated a U.S. manufacturing renaissance in batteries, electric vehicles, solar energy, and other clean energy sectors.

Our analysis shows that clean energy investment cancellations in 2025 through August have cost 23,600 jobs and $18.7 billion. Our monthly fact sheets will continue to shed light on the results of the Trump administration’s aggressive moves against this vital American resources.

Clean energy investments save Americans money

Clean energy investments already underway create over 250,000 jobs, and continue to contribute significantly to rapidly declining battery and vehicle costs that are making electric vehicles and clean energy ever more affordable.

Policies and funding cuts that lead to investment cancellations are costly for Americans.
