Tennessee could create some 39,000 jobs and bring in $3 billion in investment revenue as the result of a $150 billion investment in a clean energy economy, according to two reports released Thursday.
Many of the new jobs would also help lift low-income, low-education families out of poverty, the reports say.
The reports were prepared by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst; the Center for American Progress; Green For All; and the Natural Resources Defense Council. They are being presented to urge legislators to support clean energy investment.
