A coalition of labor and environmental groups has released a report finding that Trump administration policies rolling back federal clean energy support have contributed to the cancellation or delay of $83 billion in investments across hundreds of projects nationwide.
The BlueGreen Alliance released its findings on Tuesday, the same day labor leaders were set to meet with U.S. senators to talk about the future of the clean energy workforce.
According to the analysis, 223 manufacturing and clean energy projects totaling $82.9 billion in investment and 111,765 jobs have either stalled or been scrapped since Donald Trump began his second term as president.
The report attributed these setbacks to Trump’s major tax and spending legislation, which rolled back or eliminated incentives established during the previous administration, along with other White House actions aimed at reducing government support for renewable energy and electric vehicles.
Roxanne Johnson, the BlueGreen Alliance’s vice president of research, commented on the findings, saying: “The resulting figures clearly illustrate the staggering loss of investment and job creation that the policies of this administration and Congress have brought about.”
Trump has repeatedly argued that renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are unreliable and receive unfair government subsidies.
The report also highlighted that federal funding reductions and regulatory rollbacks that began in 2025 have weakened on-the-job protections for workers in energy and industrial fields.
Among the specific changes noted were the reversal of Environmental Protection Agency rules covering hazardous industries and delays to a rule limiting silica dust exposure for coal miners. The report warned that the silica rule delay could contribute to a comeback of black lung disease among miners.
In addition, the report found that 3,034 manufacturing, energy, and industrial projects now face tougher eligibility requirements for tax credits under Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. That puts an estimated $695.2 billion in investment and nearly 1.2 million projected jobs at risk, according to the analysis.
