A Just Transition
We need to consider the impact of renewable energy on the 1.7 million workers in the fossil fuel industry and their communities, and how to move forward without leaving them behind.

Electric cars can only help cut pollution if people start driving them. We are beginning to forward in ways that could bring EVs to more people. EV charging stations, more models for sale by more manufacturers, and government support for the transition will all help in bringing clean energy transportation closer to reality.
The transition to renewable energy sources won’t happen overnight. Biomass energy may help by reducing dependence on fossil fuels while we ramp up clean energy capabilities.
Climate related terms that pertain to a reduced impact on climate may be used interchangeably, but have connotations that underscore their differences.
Clean energy has potential to help power economic recovery, putting Americans back to work while building a cleaner, more resilient economy.
The pandemic is accelerating that transition and as jobs recover, they will inevitably recover well in cleantech industries.
