If this funding is rescinded, here’s what’s at stake for our state: -
$156 million in funding that helps low-wealth families, renters, and rural communities access affordable, sustainable energy
- Over 17,000 jobs, many in rural areas where good-paying jobs are already hard to come by
-
More than $20 billion in clean energy investments that support local businesses and economies
North Carolina has been leading the way – with clean energy tax credits already driving $16.2 billion in private investment for over 60 energy and manufacturing facilities. Another $7 billion in investment is already in the pipeline for 100+ more sites across the state.
This is not just about energy. It’s about jobs, savings, and economic opportunity. We are the #1 state in the country for rural clean energy jobs, but actions like these could take us backwards.
We need your voice now to protect clean energy, working families, and our economy.
