Screen shot of main dashboard from The Big Green Machine landing page, showing investments in clean energy manufacturing and supply chains in US, Canada, and Mexico.
Chart plotting when clean energy manufacturing projects were announced and, for those that have been canceled, paused, or closed, when the disinvestment occurred (this chart excludes projects have just been delayed or reduced in size). It shows a big boom in project announcements during Biden administration and surge of disinvestment since Trump took office.
Infographic showing clean energy manufacturing projects in the US that have advanced (announced, advanced toward production, received major grant, or been expanded in size) compared to those that have slowed (delayed, cancelled, paused, reduced in size, or loss of major grant/funding).
