Advanced Clean Technology
Innovative advanced clean technology efforts like methane mitigation and direct air capture (DAC) are crucial to reaching the level of emissions reductions necessary to stave off the most damaging impacts of climate change.
Clean Economy Union Jobs
Science is unambiguous regarding the urgency of the climate crisis and the need to quickly drive down emissions. Climate change is real, impacting workers and communities now, and we must act now to address it.
BGA is working to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by deploying all the tools at our disposal, from renewable energy technologies like onshore wind and solar to growing and innovative technologies like offshore wind and direct air capture. Harnessing these technologies—and working to ensure that the jobs created are good-paying union jobs—will create the opportunity for a middle-class life and a clean environment for all.
International Climate Agreements
Meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement present a massive opportunity for the United States to lead the world in driving the significant economic growth and job creation that comes from designing, manufacturing, and installing the clean energy technologies and infrastructure required to reduce the pollution that is driving climate change.
Offshore Clean Energy
The offshore wind industry in the United States can become a model for building the clean energy economy the right way.
Onshore Clean Energy
The transition to a cleaner economy will require vast deployment of renewable energy sources like solar and onshore wind power.
$10,000 annually Paying clean energy workers 20% more and increasing the use of domestic content in the solar and wind industries by just 10 percentage points would increase each worker’s average annual wages by over $10,000. (Source)
