Jobs21! – Good Jobs for the 21st Century
Jobs21! is a nationwide BlueGreen Alliance initiative to build
the industries of tomorrow— renewable energy, energy
efficiency, transportation, broadband, smart grid, green
chemistry, and recycling — and drive a resurgence in the
industries of today. With the right policies, new and existing
businesses can thrive here in America, revitalizing our
economy and creating and maintaining good, middle-class
jobs across the nation.
A national, grassroots campaign
Our tactics:
• With 14 million BGA members and supporters, identify clean energy jobs supporters across the country.
• Create clean energy jobs networks in each state.
• Mobilize supporters around unifying, positive message.
A national, grassroots campaign
Our tactics:
• Conduct clean energy events, e.g. economic development forums, town hall meetings and editorial board visits.
• Use work site events to highlight clean energy job creation.
• Link clean energy job creation & defense of EPA and OSHA regulations.
• Link job creation with job quality & workers’ rights.
• Develop 3-4 high level spokespersons in every state.
The Jobs of the
Future will be in
the
Clean Economy
In 2011, global investment
in clean energies topped
$260 billion.
Over the next decade, an
estimated $2.3 trillion will
be invested in clean
technologies.
But the U.S. is losing
investment to countries like
China and Germany.
Maintaining
Competitiveness
The U.S. must continue to
support and fund:
The Advanced Manufacturing
Tax Credit
(Section 48C)
The Production Tax Credit
Section 48C
Invested $2.3 billion for
new, expanded, or
retooled clean energy
manufacturing facilities.
Created and sustained
thousands of American
jobs.
Despite a backlog of
potential projects,
funding for
Section 48C has dried
up.
Section 48C &
Hemlock Semiconductor
Received $141.8 million Section 48C
tax credit to expand its Hemlock, MI
production facility
800 construction jobs
Up to 500 permanent new jobs
Production Tax Credit
A renewable energies tax credit
per KW of electricity produced.
Crucial to the existence of an
American wind industry.
Set to expire at the end of 2012.
Extending the tax credit through 2016
would create jobs and spur $28 billion
in economic activity.
Department of
Defense and
Clean Energy
Enforcing our Trade
Rules
Leveling the Playing
Field
Recent Action worth highlighting:
•WTO rules that Chinese Tariffs on US
steel products are illegal
• Commerce places tariffs on Chinese-
made wind towers
•Commerce ruled that China is
dumping crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells on the U.S. market
at artificially low rates.
TMAP: Transportation Manufacturing Action Plan
• Expand the U.S. Market for
Modern Transit and Rail Systems
• Spur Domestic Manufacturing
to Meet the New Demand
Domestic Transportation Manufacturers
Passenger Railcar and Locomotives
Transit Bus
Hybrid Truck
Passenger Railcar and Locomotive, Transit Bus, and Clean Truck Manufacturers and Assembly Locations
TMAP Investment Scenario
Top 10 States to Gain Manufacturing Jobs
Michigan 25,969
New York 24,109
Indiana 23,572
North Carolina
23,220
Wisconsin 22,236
California 64,342
Texas 41,709
Ohio 33,385
Illinois 29,770
Pennsylvania 29,079
For Every 80 Cents the U.S. Invests in Rail, China Invests $12.50
TMAP State Activity
• Mass transit-related economic development strategy;
• Build a campaign to secure commitment from elected officials and policy makers;
• Promote adequate funding for national mass transit infrastructure, transit agencies’ capital & operating budgets
Historic 2017-2025 standards
BGA Auto Task Force – labor (UAW, USW, IUE-
CWA) + enviros (Sierra, NRDC, UCS, NWF)
toward strong standards
Additional content = additional jobs
Building cleaner cars to meet 40mpg standard
by 2020
creating as many as 150K US jobs (NRDC/UAW)
Success of Advanced Technology Vehicle
Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program – 40K+ US
jobs to date (DOE)
54.5 mpg: Combined w/ administration's other
efforts
on energy efficiency, U.S. to save est. 12 billion
barrels of oil, over 6 billion metric tons CO2
Building the economic case
Job creation – 54.5 mpg standard potential to
create 570K jobs economy-wide and 50K jobs in
auto industry by 2030
Fuel savings - $1.7 trillion in reduced fuel cost
for US consumers from combined efficiency
efforts on car and heavy truck standards
Fuel efficient vehicles competitive
in the global marketplace
Reducing dependence on foreign oil
Green Manufacturing Action Plan
• Active in three (3) states: California, Michigan, & Ohio
• State Level taskforces including: labor, business, environmental representation, policy experts
• Researching, engaging taskforce to endorse & implement policy recommendations
Targeting Gaps in the Supply Chain
Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Transportation (DOT) coordinating with the
Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) in identifying
U.S. manufacturers that can meet demand for products, or can retool
to fill a supply chain gap
MEP Nationwide Network of Centers
MEP Nationwide Network of Centers
Clean Energy Manufacturing Center
• “One-Stop Shop” for manufacturers & policy makers seeking opportunities in clean energy industries.
• Providing tools they need to succeed & create jobs in emerging energy industries.
• Increasing domestic participation of manufacturers in clean energy supply chains
• Policy Development
• Research and Analysis
• Outreach Services
