Use the Clean Growth Tool to see which clean energy industries are most feasible for metro areas in Ohio & across the country, and how they can attract investment like Jeffersonville: rmi.org/clean-growth-tool/
Aaron Brickman retweeted
Jeffersonville, Ohio is “about to be transformed” by a $3.5B battery manufacturing plant that will create 2200 jobs—and it likely won’t be the only one.
“The cleantech factory boom in Ohio may just be getting started” - @aaronbrickman in @insideclimate

It was a pleasure to present on #CleanEnergy and #cleantech opportunities for #EconomicDevelopment in northeast Wyoming. Thank you for an excellent and well-organized event!
Can Western Pennsylvania organize & compete for jobs & investment in #cleantech for economic development? You bet!

#DYK that states could on average receive 4% of their federal taxes “returned” through federal clean energy incentives?
That means money that would otherwise go to the federal government stays local instead—a win for state governments + residents. 🏘️ rmi.org/bring-in-the-billion…

Private and public investment in clean energy rose to a total of $147B in the first half of this year — a record-setting figure ow.ly/qZu850SZlXJ
Many city and state economic developers don't yet know the extent to which their regions are poised for huge investment in specific clean energy or cleantech sectors, such as solar manufacturing. We designed @RockyMtnInst's #CleanGrowthTool to help! rmi.org/batteries-in-phoenix…
From an #EconomicDevelopment standpoint this matters a lot - places need to know what they're good at to understand their industrial potential, particularly in fast-growth sectors like clean energy & cleantech! rmi.org/semiconductor-solar-…
It's not always as simple as semiconductors to solar manufacturing, but you never know feasibility until you check! Our #CleanGrowthTool helps, also need investment trends data. The #InflationReductionAct has unlocked so much investment, but it's critical to know what & where.

Exactly two years ago today, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act. Since then, U.S. investment in clean energy projects—from solar manufacturing facilities to home batteries to hydrogen hubs—has risen to record heights, @Dan__McCarthy writes canarymedia.com/articles/cle…

If you think the #InflationReductionAct is the only law boosting US solar manufacturing, think again.
As I write with @AaronBrickman, semiconductor production, supercharged by #CHIPS, could eventually benefit US solar manufacturing: rmi.org/semiconductor-solar-…

@RMIpolicy @RockyMtnInst
s/o @lachlanrcarey @niyerclimate @adbeitman for their contributions!
I can't overstate how impactful our new Clean Growth Tool can be for states, cities & regions, & economic development organizations that seek to understand greatest industry feasibility - which cleantech industries will thrive in their location. rmi.org/batteries-in-phoenix… @RMIPolicy
This is big & worth your time, check it out! #EconomicDevelopment #Manufacturing #CleanEnergy #Jobs @lachlanrcarey @RMIPolicy @BenFeshbach
Today, we launched the Clean Growth Tool, a project with @BrookingsInst. It reveals the top U.S. states and cities for clean energy technology manufacturing—including key regions in #Arizona, #Ohio, #Texas, #Pennsylvania, #Wisconsin, and #Idaho.

Since the passage of the #InflationReductionAct, communities across the US have won huge cleantech manufacturing projects.
We studied these investments.
In Michigan and Georgia and beyond, they’re driving long-term economic growth. rmi.org/press-release/top-st…
Let’s dig in.👇 🧵

“We’re not going to follow this race to the bottom on pricing,” said CEO Mark Widmar. "We need to think about how do we continue to grow...it needs to be through technology leadership"

‘Kamala is Brat’ — is her energy policy too?
The likely Democratic nominee's stance on energy will not just fall out of a coconut tree but exist in the context of all in which it lives and what came before it:

Many components go into electric vehicles and batteries—and the more of them that can be produced in the U.S., the better, @jeffsaintjohn writes. That's why @ENERGY offered a $1.2B loan to help Entek make li-ion battery parts at a new factory in Indiana canarymedia.com/articles/bat…
