🌎 New research from the @rhodium_group tracking clean energy investment across the entire globe: cleaninvestmentmonitor.org/reports/global… 👍 The Good: Clean investment reached $1.96 TRILLION in 2025, tripling the amount invested just seven years ago. 👎 The Bad: However, investment growth has slowed somewhat in the past two years, rising only 7% in 2025 after a 28% jump in 2023. This is primarily due to a decline in global manufacturing investment (the types of projects we track in our Clean Economy Works), which dipped down by 40% from 2023's peak levels.

With gas prices climbing steadily, there's never been a better time for the San Diego region to embrace the clean transportation economy, writes @bkeefee2 in the @sdut: sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/03/18/opi…

Colorado Climate Week is just two weeks away, and we're co-hosting a session with the Energy Efficiency Business Coalition on Tuesday, March 31st from 4:00 - 5:00pm Mountain Time. Please join us for a discussion with leading clean energy innovators. As Colorado emerges as a leader in clean technology, this gathering will spotlight innovative solutions and catalyze bold climate action across sectors. RSVP here: luma.com/bz4zoi2s

Solar power is clean, affordable, and a verifiable catalyst for job growth. That was one message Georgia lawmakers heard from Olivia Amyette, the founder of both Infinite Energy Advisors and the Solar Knowledge Institute. One of E2's youngest Chapter Directors can now add a new accomplishment to her impressive resume: in-person advocate with state legislators!

American labor built clean American energy to lower electricity bills for 350,000 American homes. @Orsted's Revolution Wind project is already delivering cheap, reliable energy to consumers! apnews.com/article/trump-… This massive offshore wind project is an excellent example of how clean energy delivers quality jobs and affordable energy, proving once again that what's good for the economy can be good for the environment.

From the statehouse to shaping the future, E2 is back in Atlanta as a sponsor for the highly anticipated Super South Summit from March 30-April 1. To our Georgia and Southeast community, keep an eye out for our booth in the Innovation Expo. Register today and join us in two weeks: supersouth.org/super-south-su…

"Americans are granting business a clear social license to advocate for climate policy, invest in emissions reductions and support regulation instead of undermining it." See why 80% of American voters support E2's mission (via @trellisgroup_): buff.ly/PNRdYZI

IL has a chance to be an EV leader. We're asking Illinois business leaders to sign onto a letter we'll send to the Illinois General Assembly in support of SB3529. Similar laws in other states have lowered the cost of installing EV charging infrastructure for businesses and communities by 25%.

Andrea Pinabell of AC Impact Advisors and the Georgia Cleantech Innovation Hub joined us for a day of advocacy in Atlanta last month. An accomplished business leader, she urged Georgia lawmakers to pass policy that is good for the economy and the environment. Because when it comes to creating jobs, the best bet is in clean energy.

This is why it's impossible to separate the economy from the environment ⬇️ “If the warming rate of the past 10 years continues, it would lead to a long-term exceedance of the 1.5° limit of the Paris Agreement before 2030,” says Stefan Rahmstorf. “How quickly the Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels to zero." on.e2.org/3OUKM1y

Our friends at @USCleanPower released their 2025 Q4 Clean Power Quarterly Market Report last week -- which showed some really promising annual and long-term trends for clean energy. Clean Power Dominates: Solar, battery storage, and wind have provided 82% of all new capacity added to the grid over the last five years (2020-2024). Battery Boom: Energy storage installations were 41% higher than 2024 — the previous record year. Read their full report: on.e2.org/4suwGCy

Is this what the future of charging could like in America? @BYDCompany's new batteries allow EVs to fill up to 97% capacity in under 10 minutes. on.e2.org/4csJNiM With batteries becoming even more important to the U.S. economy, we'll be sure to keep an eye on advancements from American companies in their efforts to stay competitive with China.

"In the real estate industry, everything starts with a solid foundation. Federal regulations are no different." - Milton Pinsky of the Banner Real Estate Group 📰 Milt's poignant Letter to the Editor in the Chicago Sun-Times last week captures just how damaging the EPA's endangerment finding decisions are for businesses in all sectors: on.e2.org/4rcw9Ee

93% of planned utility-scale generating capacity will be powered by renewable energy this year, according to estimates from the @EIAgov. ☀️ Solar = 51% 🔋 Batteries = 28% 🌬️ Wind = 14% The full picture can be found on the EIA website: on.e2.org/4qXbVhF

Where in the world is TIME100 Climate Champion Bob Keefe? Our intrepid executive director spoke on a panel at The Energy and Resource Institute's World Sustainable Development Summit 2026 in India last week.

The key to meeting skyrocketing energy demand in America might be less about generation and more about storage. Using data from @BCSECleanEnergy, @CanaryMediaInc highlights a new record for batteries in 2025: on.e2.org/4cb6Pe1

How do you guarantee 100 hours of clean energy -- even when weather reduces renewable generation? You build a @FormEnergyInc 300 MW / 30 GWh iron-air battery system. @Google and @XcelEnergyMN inked a deal to bring a HUGE battery to power a data center (along with 1.4 GW of wind and 200 MW of solar) in a way that shields ratepayers from being saddled with any of the costs. @CanaryMediaInc has the details: on.e2.org/3ZYe4P3

25 years ago, we got our start advocating for California's Clean Car Standard. What was obvious back then is even more clear now. Reducing 🚘&🛻 emissions is vitally important for every industry as we explain in our latest blog: on.e2.org/4kCIuQn

What happens when an administration makes it difficult to build the cheapest and fastest energy source available? Investors cancel projects and hardworking Americans lose out on good-paying job opportunities. We've tracked the flow of money and jobs from the clean energy sector for the last four years and 2025 was ROUGH: on.e2.org/4qk2vfV
