A report discussing clean energy job trends under the new Administration, with an emphasis on job decline in states and key districts where Inflation Reduction Act investments have been distributed. Climate Power estimates more than 600 jobs have been lost or jeopardized per day under Trump's first 100 days. The end of the first quarter of 2025 marked the first quarter since 2022 that clean energy job creation declined, ending two and a half years of consistent job growth. This report also discusses the harmful impacts of job declines and stalled or canceled clean energy investments, and what's at stake if these trends continue.

This report is the first in an Insight Report series designed to clarify siting policy options, provide useful context, and empower others to improve state and local siting policies. This Insight Report provides an overview of every siting policy framework used across the continental United States. Future Insight Reports will synthesize outcomes from the 2025 legislative sessions, investigate options for delivering host community benefits, and demystify site-level design principles.

A social media toolkit drawing attention to clean energy tax credits and savings that are at risk of being cut by Congress this year.

This Article describes and analyzes the growing local opposition to rural solar energy and ultimately argues for a wave of new state legislation designed to strengthen rural landowners’ rights to develop utility-scale solar projects on their land.

Since 2018, the Climate Advocacy Lab has distributed Climate Justice Microgrants to 25 environmental justice and climate justice organizations around the United States who are doing powerful work to protect and improve their communities.

Wind and solar energy do not use eminent domain and are part of the American energy solution. But many remain hesitant due to disinformation—false claims shared to confuse or scare people. These five facts debunk the myths and show why clean energy is a smart investment for everyone.

This report shares findings from a joint study of community benefit plans (CBPs) made by utilities and developers. RMI and the University of Minnesota (UMN) Center for Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy (CSTEP) collaborated on the research and analysis.

This guide offers strategic guidance on identifying local clean energy programs and projects, crafting compelling narratives, amplifying success stories, and advocating for the programs and investments that make these benefits possible.

Voters consistently report holding strong favorable views of solar energy. However, despite this positive sentiment, just under half of voters report being likely to consider rooftop solar installation, highlighting a key gap between sentiments to solar and action. Younger voters and renters have greater support for solar, highlighting the potential for future solar adoption as they become homeowners or encourage their landlord to adopt solar. These findings highlight the importance of education to bridge the gap between consumer interest and action on residential solar adoption. Investments in education about the benefits of solar, including reduced energy costs – coupled with outreach to ensure voters are hearing about targeted financial incentives to bring down the upfront costs of installation – could help remove financial barriers and accelerate solar deployment and the transition to a more sustainable energy future.

This post includes climate and environment headlines, data points, and key takeaways from recent public polls - including a new report from Pew about Americans’ beliefs and preferences for climate policy, new polling about residential solar, and new research about the emotions behind climate activism.
