Generating Energy,

Generating Jobs

 

Policy Matters Ohio is the Ohio partner for the Apollo Alliance, a bold national campaign to make our country energy-independent within a decade (see more here). Ohio’s world-class manufacturing infrastructure and workforce is poised to make us a leader in providing parts for wind turbines and other renewable energy equipment that could be used nationwide. Policy Matters and Apollo commissioned the Renewable Energy Policy Project to produce a comprehensive report documenting the potential investment and job growth opportunities in every Ohio county. Policy Matters released a brief report, relying on the REPP data and analysis. Click on the links below to understand how Ohio could gain more than 22,000 jobs from renewable energy investments.
