When America Leads: Competing for the Future of Clean Energy

With the opportunity to create trillions of dollars in sales, millions of jobs, and a more secure supply of energy, the global market for clean technologies is a prize worth competing for. America has dealt itself a good hand–world-class innovation and manufacturing capabilities, a skilled workforce, and a recent surge in federal investment that could supercharge our advantage in clean energy. But the US still has to play its cards right if it wants to take the lead in these fiercely competitive industries. That’s why Third Way partnered with Breakthrough Energy and Boston Consulting Group on groundbreaking analysis to identify promising industries for the country to prioritize, and smart industrial strategies that let the US play to its strengths and lock-in a global advantage. A more competitive America brings rewards home–but it also delivers better products and services on a global scale, producing energy that is clean, affordable, reliable, and secure. When America leads, the world wins.
