Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm today detailed the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) industrial strategy, focused on supporting domestic manufacturing; reducing emissions; creating and sustaining high-quality jobs; ensuring maximum benefits to communities; and promoting fairness, diversity, and inclusion in the clean energy economy.

Following Sec. Granholm’s speech, the BlueGreen Alliance released the following statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh:

“The strategy outlined today by Sec. Granholm is just what the nation needs for our industrial sector to not just catch up with, but surge past, our global competitors. This plan will ensure that we’re both innovating and building the clean technology of the future here in the United States. Once again, the Biden administration has shown what it means to put American workers and families first, building a strong plan to create good, union jobs across the nation, help clean up our air and water, and continue to lower emissions in the nation’s manufacturing sector.”
