Regional Manufacturing Will Power the Next Clean Economy

In a recent op-ed in Utility Dive, our Head of Climate, Lara Croushore, and Stacey Weismiller from the American Manufacturing Futures Institute make the case that the clean energy transition won’t be won in theory, but rather will be built on factory floors, in industrial corridors and in communities that still know how to make things.

The path forward is to treat manufacturing like the public good it is, align policy and capital at the regional level, and build a Climate Manufacturing Commons that turns fragmented progress into national momentum.
