“At the end of 2024, more than 3.5 million Americans were employed in clean energy occupations, spanning renewable generation, battery and storage, energy efficiency, biofuels, grid modernization and clean vehicles industries,” E2 said. “The growth of clean energy jobs also far outpaced job growth across the rest of the energy industry.”Around 60% of clean energy jobs, a total of 2.2 million workers, are currently in construction and manufacturing, said the report. “But recent policy decisions to revoke energy incentives, cancel permits, and add additional administrative burdens to clean energy projects puts the continued growth of clean energy jobs in America at serious risk,” E2 said. “Thousands of jobs in the wind energy sector are at risk because the Trump administration is temporarily blocking wind energy permitting,” the Center for American Progress said in August. “Looking ahead, clean energy jobs are still positioned to grow, given rising demand for electricity from the tech industry and consumers and continued uncertainty over global petroleum supplies and prices,” E2 said.
