In the first 100 days of President Donald Trump in office, his executive orders, tariffs and attacks against clean energy have reversed the impulse for work and the manufacture of clean energy, which had experienced an boom in the last two years.
A new report by the Climate Power Environmental Defense Group shows that 95 clean energy projects have been delayed, threatened or canceled, representing 62,554 jobs and $ 71.24 billion in investments, said a Climate Power press release.
Economic uncertainty around federal investments has led companies to reconsider, delay or reverse their investment in the United States, putting hundreds of thousands of additional jobs at risk.
“Trump’s war against clean energy and its chaotic policies have already caused a hemorrhal of manufacturing work in sectors that had booming for two years,” said executive director of Climate Power Lori Lodes, in the press release. “The revocation of clean energy investments endangers hundreds of thousands of well -paid jobs alone. In addition to this crisis of uncertainty, repeal would devastate US manufacturing: stop construction, send jobs abroad, hiker energy costs and lose the future to China and our other competitors.”
Before Trump was chosen in 2024, the United States had experienced its greatest expansion of factory construction investment in the history of the country, caused largely by the fiscal credits of clean energy in the Law of Inflation Reduction of 2022.
“The manufacturing incentives that we promulgate have supercharged economic development in Georgia, which leads to thousands of dollars from private investment from the manufacture of electric vehicles to the manufacture of semiconductors, advanced energy and press release of Saint Senator, Saint Senator Geufacturing.
Since the establishment of tax credits, clean energy companies have announced more than 400,000 new jobs, mainly in manufacturing. But since the beginning of the Trump administration, growth has changed, falling from 406000 clean energy jobs created between August 2022 and December 2024 to 399000 at the end of this year’s first quarter.
“It is not an exaggeration to say that the Trump administration has launched the assault of the White House of Sausage in history for the environment and public health. Day and time per hour, the administration is destroying one of the achifers of the signing of our time, said Je Je Saintnis Council, as reported by Inside Climate News.” If this assault is successful, it could take a generation or more to repair the damage. “
According to Atlas’s public policy, a record number of green manufacturing projects in the first quarter of 2025 was eliminated, said Climate Power.
“The manufacturing losses of these first actions will only grow, but those who re -re -re -re -requer Departure output output output output output output starting output exit by output output outside the output output output exit output output output output output output output start output exit output output output.
Some of the states that have already been significantly affected by Trump’s tariffs and the assault on clean energy, and have more to lose if tax credits are repealed, are Michigan, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, among others.
“It would be a concrete of Georgia’s state to vote against the economic interests of our state and put all that economic development at risk,” said Osooff.
