New economic
analysis shows that clean energy and climate policies would create jobs,
increase consumers’ income, and strengthen the U.S. economy as a whole. Based
on collaborate research by the University of Illinois, Yale University and the
University of California, the new study clearly demonstrates that comprehensive
clean energy and climate legislation, such as the American Clean Energy and
Security Act and the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act, would limit
pollution and create incentives to drive large-scale investments in clean
energy and energy efficiency.
The analysis indicates that, on a national level, such legislation would up to
1.9 million new jobs, increase annual household income by up to $1,175 per
year, and boost GDP by up to $111 billion – with all of those benefits measured
relative to a scenario without such legislation. In addition, all the states
would see economic gains are over and above the growth that they would see in
the absence of such a bill.
Environmental Entrepreneurs, along with the national investor coalition Ceres
and the Clean Economy Network, have sponsored the publication of the following
50 state fact sheets that clearly illustrate the study’s findings about how
each state will be impacted if we pass strong clean energy and climate policies
to secure a safer and cleaner future for our country. Click on the links below
