Overview
- A BlueGreen Alliance analysis found 223 manufacturing, clean‑energy and industrial projects representing about $82.9 billion in investment and roughly 111,765 jobs have stalled or been canceled, according to the group's July report.
- The coalition links the cancellations to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which narrowed or ended many Biden‑era tax credits for electric vehicles and renewable energy and tightened eligibility for new projects.
- The report identifies 3,034 additional projects that now face stricter tax‑credit rules, putting an estimated $695.2 billion in planned investment and nearly 1.2 million projected jobs at heightened risk.
- It says federal funding cuts and regulatory rollbacks since 2025 have reduced workplace protections, citing fewer OSHA inspections, EPA rollbacks for hazardous industries, and delays to a Department of Labor silica rule that could raise health risks for miners.
- Labor and environmental groups are pressing senators with the report's project‑level data as they warn the policy changes could shift manufacturing overseas, cost communities jobs and slow U.S. clean‑energy deployment while Republicans argue subsidies distorted the market.
