Over $910 billion in private sector investments have been announced, which is reaching into all parts of the country. Boushey noted that it is not just about the investment, but what it is doing—such as building up communities, providing jobs, bringing clean energy to low-income communities, and more. Furthermore, she noted that building out new ecosystems will have long-lasting effects. We have seen many quarters of historically high investment in new manufacturing, especially in clean energy.
Are we moving fast enough? Boushey concluded that a reasonable way to measure success, considering that climate change is here, is that due to the historic amount of money invested, we are moving faster than forecasters predicted and this is a strong story of successes for building out a clean energy system.
