Building Clean: Improving Efficiency, Health, and Equity in Housing and Creating Good Jobs

When buildings are designed, built, and maintained to protect the health of people and the environment—and if the manufacturing of building products and materials create good-paying union jobs in the U.S.—then the wellbeing of people and communities will improve, especially for people of color. Building Clean works to increase the use of building products that are more efficient, less toxic, and manufactured in the U.S. We aim to improve the physical, environmental, and economic health of communities and promote a more equitable future for all.

Solidarity for Climate Action: The Plan We Need to Get American Manufacturing Back on Track

Manufacturing towns dot the nation, and advanced manufacturing helps provide the foundation for the economy in major regions of the United States. Industries like the steel and automotive industries supported good-paying jobs, middle-class families, and prosperous communities for decades, while also spurring American leadership in innovation and technology. That’s still true in some areas. But in many others, factories have closed or new industries offer jobs that all too often are poorly paid, insecure, or unsafe.

The BlueGreen Alliance Submits Comments to the Environmental Protection Agency on the Proposed Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Year 2027 and Later Light-and Medium-Duty Vehicles

It’s critical that regulators, policymakers, and advocates coordinate standards, policies, investments, and infrastructure projects that engage and benefit all people—from the manufacturing workers who build the vehicles of the future, to the people who drive them, to the communities they drive through. Strong vehicle emissions standards—accompanied by policies to rebuild manufacturing, protect and create good family supporting jobs, and revitalize communities—are critical to achieving these aims.

The BlueGreen Alliance Submits Comments on the Phase 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

It’s important that regulators, policymakers, and advocates coordinate standards, policies, investments, and infrastructure projects that engage and benefit all people—from the manufacturing workers who build the vehicles of the future, to the people who drive them, to the communities they drive through. Strong heavy-duty vehicle standards—accompanied by policies to rebuild manufacturing, protect and create good family supporting jobs, and revitalize communities—are critical to achieving these aims.

EPA Proposes Robust Vehicle Emissions Standards, Accelerating the Nation Towards Climate Goals

This morning, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new light- and heavy-duty vehicle greenhouse gas and tailpipe emissions standards that chart a course toward significantly reduced emissions from the nation’s future vehicle fleets. The new standards, which apply to vehicles beginning with Model Year 2027, represent one part of the broader whole-of-government approach the administration is taking to reduce emissions from the transportation sector and meet climate goals. It is essential, however, that the standards also contribute to the protection and creation of high-quality, union jobs in the auto manufacturing sector.

Seeing the Forest for the Trees: Smart Industrial Policy in the Updated Clean Vehicle Credit

By Reem Rayef, Senior Policy Advisor With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act last year came Congress’ framework of an updated clean vehicle consumer tax credit that strikes a tough balance. It accelerates the deployment of clean and electric vehicles (EVs), while incentivizing automakers to secure and bring their auto manufacturing supply chains to…

BlueGreen Alliance Celebrates Finalization of NEVI Rules

he U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and White House today made a series of announcements that will shape the future of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the United States. Prominent among them is FHWA’s publishing of final minimum standards for agency-funded EV charging infrastructure, which will set the baseline for how states implement the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI).

The BlueGreen Alliance Responds to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Request For Information on the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program

Through the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, and through its programs’ implementation, legislative and agency action can work together to ensure that good jobs and a clean environment also advance critical priorities like economic and climate justice. We appreciate the opportunity to inform/respond to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Request for Information on transportation programs, particularly the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program.

BlueGreen Alliance responds to the Department of Treasury & Internal Revenue Service’s Request for Comments on the Inflation Reduction Act Amendments to the Clean Vehicle Tax Credit

The updated 30D Clean Vehicle Tax Credit represents an opportunity to lower the upfront cost of electric vehicles (EVs) for consumers, to accelerate the deployment of EVs, and to reshape the global automotive supply chain to support auto manufacturing workers and communities here.
