Over $24 billion in U.S. clean energy investment and 21,000 jobs lost in 2025 The latest data from the E2 Clean Economy Tracker report shows that businesses are canceling, closing or scaling back clean energy plans to the tune of billions per month during the Trump 2.0 administ...

Investing in clean energy means not just a better environment but also jobs and investment in communities. It should come as no surprise that the federal government scaling back on clean energy means less money invested in communities. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/10/22/o...

29.1% of auto sales in California last quarter were electric vehicles! Almost a full third of sales! While this was partly due to expiring tax credits, it proves electric vehicles remain popular!

New England’s final coal plant shuts down years ahead of schedule Poor economics drove the aging New Hampshire plant offline three years early, even as the Trump administration pushes to revitalize coal.

"The closure in New Hampshire β€” so far undisputed by the federal government β€” demonstrates that prolonging operations at some facilities just doesn’t make economic sense for their owners." Clean energy makes sense economically. www.canarymedia.com/articles/fos...

Unfortunately, Gov. Newsom vetoed these bills which was a mistake for energy affordability and reliability in the Golden State. When a few were passed unanimously or nearly unanimously, there is no excuse to veto this common sense legislation.
