Founded by former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, and active from 2014-2019 to build America’s advanced energy future, one job at a time.

@JenGranholm understands the transformational power a good job can have on a
personʼs life—and she knows that clean energy is the key to creating millions of good
union jobs at home and growing a stronger, inclusive middle class.

New Jersey is set to be a major hub of offshore wind manufacturing. #Orsted's 1.1 GW project will spur local mfg of foundations in Paulsboro, NJ.

Offshore Wind = A new wave of opportunity for #climatewealth

Check out this animation showing national trends on CO2 emissions. The US has a lot of work to do.

This challenge is an opportunity for us to grow new industries that remove carbon and create good jobs.

No time to waste- we're looking at you Congress.

WA's clean energy bill includes incentives to support good-paying jobs & the social cost of carbon. I hope this is the first in a wave of similar legislation. Kudos, evergreen state.

Great explainer by @drvox. https://t.co/akZDXwoVI8 via @voxdotcom

Why? Because "[A]n overwhelming majority of Americans support an “energy agenda that drives innovation, lowers emissions and fosters economic growth.”"

That's something we can all get behind, regardless of party.

Proud to see so many fellow Republicans stepping up on climate: @JohnCornyn, @lisamurkowski, @SenAlexander, @RepMcKinley, @RepTomReed, @SenThomTillis, just to name a few https://t.co/Fw2xJ3wRn5 via @business

Thanks to @ThirdWayEnergy for ensuring the #FastestPathToZero conversation touches on how we can lift everyone up and create good paying jobs.

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

After discussing how vulnerable communities are adapting to climate, @SaraPozziUM, Mary Collins of @AmerJobsProject, & Jim Harrison of @The_UWUA discuss what it looks like to create opportunities for people as we transition to clean energy. #FastestPathToZero

Target's new climate goals encompass its entire supply chain: 80% of the retailer's suppliers are required to set emission targets by 2023.

Kudos to Target for creating climate targets both upstream and downstream, and here's to this becoming mainstream! https://t.co/j0nS3beyNl

1) Water is a basic human right, regardless of urban or rural.
2) Investing in our infrastructure can support jobs for the 4 in 10 Americans that struggle to basic needs.
3) Policymakers, innovators, & investors have a lot of work to do to create a better future #WorldWaterDay

https://t.co/VlRyaE9AJa. See @e2org's latest report. In 2018 #cleanenergy jobs were 3x times that of #fossilfuel jobs. The trend toward #climatewealth continues.

We must ensure sustainable growth & a just transition for workers in declining industries. But how??

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

Make sure the people that feed us can feed their families! >70% of chicken farmers live below the poverty line, meanwhile poultry executives like Wan Long make >$290 million per year. https://t.co/cvqm5hYiUf @propogateorg #GreenNewDeal

And right now 4 in 10 Americans struggle to meet basic needs. Let's capitalize on the >$1.4 trillion cleantech market opportunity so families and the planet can benefit.
