The green energy industry has the potential to add millions of jobs and trillions of dollars to the country's economy. As of 2018, under 20 percent of the energy consumed in the United States is derived from renewable energy. Even at this level, the green energy industry contributed $1.3 trillion in yearly revenue and employed more than 9 million people.
Increasing the percentage of energy derived from green sources by only three percent would add 500,000 jobs in the wind power sector alone. Adopting renewable energy increases opportunities in several sectors. Businesses that build, install, and maintain green infrastructures, such as wind turbines and solar grids, hire more than 770,000 individuals. Indirectly, green energy increases demand in industries such as automated vehicle manufacturing and power grid infrastructure.
