The Clean Energy Recovery: Creating Jobs, Building New Industries and Saving Money

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act invested in projects that create clean energy jobs while helping families save money on their energy bills. These investments in renewable energy, efficiency, weatherization and new technology development have established robust American energy industries, such as advanced battery technology to power cars and trucks.

On Wednesday, Chairman Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will explore some of the clean energy results from the Recovery Act, and discuss how an American-made clean energy future can continue.
