E2 Clean Jobs America 2026 report is the subject of @CanaryMediaInc's most recent chart of the week column. According to E2 analysis, the U.S. clean energy workforce fell by nearly 37,000 jobs last year.
These losses don't include the nearly 85,000 other jobs that were announced by companies for projects that were canceled or downsized last year.
Clean energy jobs sank last year, a first after four straight years of steady growth.

Thank you @SenTinaSmith for standing up for farmers and rural small businesses!
Your REAP amendment would have helped Rural Americans who relied on government pre-approvals to build cost-saving energy projects but were stuck holding the bill when the reimbursements were suddenly frozen.
While the amendment did not advance, we appreciate your leadership and urge you to continue fighting for a solution.
"More than 200 major clean energy projects were canceled, closed, or downsized between the beginning of 2025 and May 2026, according to a report from E2, a nonprofit that tracks the clean energy economy, and the research and consulting firm BW Research. That includes factories like a $1.4 billion battery plant that Natron Energy planned to build in North Carolina—creating more than 1,000 jobs—and a $2.57 billion battery plant that Freyr Battery, now called T1 Energy, planned to build in Georgia. Other canceled initiatives span solar and wind farms, and EV facilities, including Stellantis’s scrapped $3 billion battery plant and parts hub in Illinois."
