BlueGreen Alliance (BGA) research has found that largely due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), 223 manufacturing, clean energy, and industrial projects are already facing cancellations and delays representing at least $82.8 billion in capital investment which could cost 111,765 jobs.

Additionally, more than 3,034 manufacturing, clean energy, and industrial sites face tax restrictions due to OBBBA, putting at risk $695.2 billion in capital investment and 1,184,996 jobs. 

Details:

223 clean manufacturing, energy, and industrial projects across the country—representing at least $82.8 billion in capital investment—have been canceled or stalled. This includes:

• 84 canceled or stalled manufacturing projects, resulting in the loss or delay of at least $52 billion in capital investment; and 
• 139 canceled clean energy and industrial projects, resulting in the loss or delay of at least $30.8 billion in capital investment. 

The loss of manufacturing and clean energy projects may cost the nation 111,765 jobs, including:

• 47,135 manufacturing jobs; and
• 56,959 construction jobs. 

At least 3,034 manufacturing, clean energy, and industrial sites are subject to stricter tax eligibility requirements under OBBBA. These sites face tighter deadlines and restrictions to qualify. This puts at risk:

• At least 750 manufacturing sites expected to create at least 160,325 manufacturing and operations jobs, 20,678 construction jobs, and spend over $218.8 billion in capital investment; and 
• At least 2,284 clean energy and industrial sites expected to create at least 36,132 manufacturing and operations jobs, 967,861 construction jobs, and spend over $476.4 billion in capital investment. 

In addition, there are significant impacts to the rights and health and safety of workers from decisions made by Trump and the GOP Congress. These include executive orders, funding cuts, and agency decisions that Trump and Republicans in Congress have enacted to dismantle unions, worker safety protections, and equity efforts in the private and public sectors. 

From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s weakening of the Risk Management Program rules that would have made highly hazardous industries safer to the executive order stripping of collective bargaining rights of more than a million federal workers to attacks on Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Justice (DEIJ) efforts, workers are less safe, work is more dangerous, and fundamental rights of workers are weakened today.

This illustrates a drastic reversal from the years of progress the nation had made toward a pro-worker clean economy. This report will explore in detail the impacts of Trump’s policies on working people at the intersection of clean energy, manufacturing, and labor. While these policies have undeniably benefited the billionaire class, we will show how working people are experiencing good jobs ripped from their communities, canceled projects, higher energy bills, and increasingly unsafe working conditions.
