Building Clean: Improving Efficiency, Health, and Equity in Housing and Creating Good Jobs

When buildings are designed, built, and maintained to protect the health of people and the environment—and if the manufacturing of building products and materials create good-paying union jobs in the U.S.—then the wellbeing of people and communities will improve, especially for people of color. Building Clean works to increase the use of building products that are more efficient, less toxic, and manufactured in the U.S. We aim to improve the physical, environmental, and economic health of communities and promote a more equitable future for all.

Solidarity for Climate Action: The Plan We Need to Get American Manufacturing Back on Track

Manufacturing towns dot the nation, and advanced manufacturing helps provide the foundation for the economy in major regions of the United States. Industries like the steel and automotive industries supported good-paying jobs, middle-class families, and prosperous communities for decades, while also spurring American leadership in innovation and technology. That’s still true in some areas. But in many others, factories have closed or new industries offer jobs that all too often are poorly paid, insecure, or unsafe.

Wright Doubles Down on Job-Destroying Rescissions

The US Solar Industry is the Latest Victim to Trump’s War on Clean Energy

To assess the progress we’ve made to reshore the domestic solar supply chain and to understand the threats the sector faces because of these recent policy choices, the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA) conducted research to map and analyze domestic facilities within the full solar supply chain including core photovolactic (PV) module components, electronics, tracking and structural components, and additional parts that are required to produce a solar panel.

Trump Administration Continues to Undercut Clean Energy with Latest Treasury Rules

The U.S. Department of the Treasury released guidance that restricts eligibility for tax credits for clean energy projects.

Senate GOP Budget Bill Sells Out Workers to Pad Billionaire Pockets

The U.S. Senate voted today to pass its budget bill. The Senate version of the bill claws back grant funding aiding the transition to a clean energy economy and upholds a rollback of clean energy and advanced manufacturing tax credits passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. The budget bill puts 2 million jobs within the country’s burgeoning clean energy manufacturing footprint at risk. No Democratic Senators supported the bill.

More than Two Million Jobs at Risk if Clean Manufacturing Tax Credits Repealed

A new research brief released today by the BlueGreen Alliance reveals that more than two million jobs across the manufacturing employment footprint are at risk if the budget reconciliation bill recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives becomes law. The House bill introduces provisions that would effectively kill tax credits for clean and advanced manufacturing by making them unusable and sunsetting them early.
