The Apollo Green Manufacturing Action Plan launched a campaign to restore millions of American jobs with the release of a comprehensive road-map for rebuilding U.S. manufacturing capacity to meet the clean energy needs of the future.
“We can’t let the next generation of energy jobs be in oil fields on the other side of the world. Our energy security and economic revitalization depend on creating and keeping good jobs in the U.S.,” said Apollo Alliance Chairman Phil Angelides. “The Apollo Green Manufacturing Plan will put millions of Americans back to work and restore America’s manufacturing leadership.”
The Plan calls for:
1. Direct federal funding for clean energy manufacturers to retool facilities and retrain workers to develop, produce and commercialize clean energy technologies.
2. Tying federal support to manufacturers’ ability to meet labor and “Made in America” content standards.
3. Federal support to streamline the clean energy components supply chain to make American producers more competitive.
4. Increased federal Green Jobs Act funding to enable the American workforce to meet the demands of a clean energy economy.
5. Creation of a Presidential Task Force on Clean Energy Manufacturing to coordinate the federal government’s efforts and increase our international competitiveness.
The road-map is to build U.S. manufacturing capacity to meet the clean energy needs of the future which will involve creating millions of new green jobs and working towards clean, energy independence, "Made in America".
