Key facts
- Trump administration policies are linked to $83 billion in delayed or canceled clean energy projects.
- The BlueGreen Alliance report identified 223 stalled or canceled projects representing $82.9 billion in investment and 111,765 jobs.
- The report attributes these cancellations to the repeal or curtailment of Biden-era incentives and other administration actions.
- Federal funding cuts and regulatory rollbacks have also weakened workplace protections.
- An estimated $695.2 billion in investment and nearly 1.2 million jobs are at risk due to stricter tax credit eligibility requirements under Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Policies enacted during the Trump administration that reduced federal support for clean energy have resulted in the cancellation or delay of approximately $83 billion in investments across hundreds of projects, according to a report by the BlueGreen Alliance. The analysis found that 223 manufacturing and clean energy projects, representing $82.9 billion in investment and 111,765 jobs, have stalled or been canceled. The report attributes these setbacks to Trump's signature tax and spending package, which repealed or curtailed Biden-era incentives, as well as other administration actions aimed at reducing federal support for renewable energy and electric vehicles. Roxanne Johnson, BlueGreen Alliance's vice president of research, stated that the figures illustrate a significant loss of investment and job creation due to the administration's and Congress's policies. Trump has previously expressed skepticism about the reliability of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. The report also noted that federal funding cuts and regulatory rollbacks initiated in 2025 have weakened workplace protections for workers in energy and industrial sectors, citing the rollback of EPA rules and delays to a silica exposure rule that could increase the risk of black lung disease among coal miners. Furthermore, the report indicates that 3,034 manufacturing, energy, and industrial projects are now subject to stricter tax credit eligibility requirements under Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, potentially jeopardizing an estimated $695.2 billion in investment and nearly 1.2 million projected jobs.
