The freezing of federal funds is creating significant economic damage to America’s energy future and manufacturing competitiveness. As these critical investments remain frozen, the United States is missing opportunities to advance domestic manufacturing, create jobs, and develop the clean energy technologies needed to maintain global leadership.
The current federal funding freeze is creating widespread uncertainty and driving disinvestment from promising American energy projects. These federal incentives have already catalyzed massive announced investments nationwide, demonstrating their potential to stimulate private sector investment, create high-quality jobs, and revitalize legacy manufacturing communities.
The cost of delay is substantial and increasing by the second.
C2ES partnered with research firm, Greenline Insights to quantify the cumulative and accelerating impact of federal clean energy and manufacturing funding freezes.
The ticker displays cumulative, irreversible economic losses resulting from the freeze of IRA programs. These figures represent the decrease in expected economic benefits relative to a counterfactual scenario where these programs were all implemented on time and as intended.
These values are expressed in real time and represent non-recoverable losses stemming from diminished purchasing power as time passes without program implementation. Finally, the “At Risk” metrics show the total funding, economic cost, lost workdays, and lost worker income if the currently frozen IRA programs are never implemented.
