Clean Energy Means Jobs for America
Clean energy means jobs for Americans
More than 3 million Americans have clean energy jobs. They earn 25% more than the national median wage. There are more American clean energy workers than Retail Salespeople, Registered Nurses or Truck Drivers. Investing in a cleaner economy would mean even more rapid job and wage growth in all 50 states – and would help reduce the number of climate-related disasters we experience in the future.
The Risks: Natural disasters become much worse
Recent science from the United Nations shows the time is now.
Every year we have suffered more climate-driven natural disasters like drought, storms, floods and fires. They are costing more money ($95 BILLION in 2020) and taking more lives than ever before. Chances are you may know someone who has experienced one. In the coming decades, the United States is on track to lose shoreline, roads, sewage systems, crops and many regions will become too hot, too dry or too flooded to live or work.
The Good News: WE CAN FIX THIS!
The technology to shift us to clean energy is commercially available today.
The U.S. Department of Energy reports that using only commercially available technology, the U.S. could shift to 95% clean electricity by 2035.
- We can take control and responsibility.
- We can compete with China.
- We can lead the world toward climate solutions.
