A new NRDC analysis shows in West Virginia and the Build Back Better Act that was passed by the House of Representatives, has the potential
shows that the Build Back Better Act that was passed by the House of Representatives, has the potential to significantly accelerate clean energy investment and other economic activity while creating millions of high-quality, family supporting union jobs across the country. The Senate’s passage of the policies in the bill would enable West Virginia to invest in climate solutions that could lead to more than 70,000 direct jobs, according to a new analysis from NRDC .
New low- and no-carbon electric generating capacity built: 3,000–5,400 megawatts, enough to power the equivalent of 1.9 to 2.9 million homes annually. “Coupling labor stands with these increasingly critical clean energy investments will lead to the creation and retention of high-quality jobs that offer workers a free and fair choice to join a union,” added. “When workers earn a fair wage in stable jobs, they help revitalize communities that for too long have struggled from underinvestment, discrimination and exploitation. West Virginia needs the Build Back Better Act.”https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/clean-electricity-bbb-wv-fs.
