Building A More Secure, Affordable and Prosperous Economy in the United States
In recent years, the United States has seen unprecedented growth in the low-carbon economy. This has resulted in hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying American jobs; billions of dollars in manufacturing investments; reduced monthly energy costs for households and businesses; and a more secure domestic energy supply.
Now, federal and state policymakers have an opportunity to build on this momentum by developing innovative policies that continue to grow the economy, create jobs and lower costs for households and businesses alike. These policies are critical to keeping the United States competitive in the global economy.
Igniting Innovation, our new expert note series, offers guidance and analysis for federal and state policymakers to advance bipartisan policies that can deliver a more affordable, secure and prosperous low-carbon economy for the United States.
