This report focuses on the potential economic impact of such investment in advanced energy technologies. Focusing stimulus spending on deployment, manufacturing, and training programs for advanced energy technologies can generate economic activity and create good jobs across the U.S.

Over the past year, the federal government has enacted programs that invest government dollars to provide Americans with economic relief, recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, and get the economy moving. Recent federal stimulus and infrastructure proposals have looked toward longer-term economic growth, and have included major investments in various advanced energy technologies. As Congress actively negotiates infrastructure legislation,  advanced energy should be part of the conversation.
