The Trump administration's skepticism towards the green industries and the phase-out of support for electrification and fossil-free energy is becoming increasingly clear.
Just in June, 5,300 jobs were lost and investments worth $2.1 billion (20 billion kronor) in previously announced green energy investments were withdrawn or scaled down, according to E2.
Recently, it is primarily within the automotive industry that has slowed down, where, among other things, General Motors and Toyota have scrapped factory plans in Michigan and Indiana, respectively.
"These canceled projects are not just numbers in a balance sheet. It's about jobs, salary payments, and opportunities in communities that counted on these projects for clean energy to drive economic growth. And now they're gone," says Michael Timberlake, E2's communications manager, in a press release.
