Washington, DC - November 1, 2023 - Gina McCarthy, the Managing Co-Chair of America is All In and former White House national climate advisor, released the following statement on Climate Power’s latest Clean Energy Boom report. The report found that, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act’s historic investments in climate and clean energy, there have been more than 211,000 new clean energy jobs across 45 states and over $300 billion in investments in American clean energy. 

“President Biden’s clean energy plan is working, and it’s setting off America’s next economic boom. American workers and businesses are mobilizing to build the clean energy economy, showing that in every corner of our country, growing the economy goes hand-in-hand with tackling the climate crisis. This isn’t some far-off dream. We’re building the economy of the future right here in America: one that's healthier, cleaner, and more just." 

Climate Power’s Clean Energy Boom report also found there are 388 new clean energy projects in small towns and big cities across the country, including 129 new battery manufacturing sites, 95 new or expanded electric vehicle manufacturing facilities, and 125 planned wind and solar manufacturing developments.
