More good news for New Hampshire, thanks to the Biden administrations policies for clean energy and environmental issues, specifically the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021!
According to a recent new report from the U.S. Department of Energy, between 2021-2022, NH added nearly 650 clean energy jobs. We are also seeing energy jobs experiencing an increase nationwide.
The report listed the (nationwide) clean energy jobs:
11,299 positions in energy efficiency
8,199 jobs in motor vehicles
5,842 jobs in electric power generation
3,448 jobs in transmission, distribution and storage
1,367 jobs in fuels

Other good news is the expansion of clean energy jobs such as solar and wind power and zero emissions vehicles, surpassed that of all other jobs nationally! The United States has set a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. “Net-zero emissions” refers to achieving an overall balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced, avoided, and removed from the atmosphere.
Good news indeed, as we watch and experience for ourselves the negative effects of climate change and extreme weather!
