US clean energy jobs declined by nearly 37,000 in 2025 following federal policy rollbacks under the Trump administration and Republican Congress, ending four years of growth and leading to widespread project cancellations across 35 states.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 2 sources have reported it between 22 Sep 2026 and 28 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a shrinking US clean energy market as federal support fades and projects get axed. Shift focus to states still expanding clean jobs or pivot to battery storage and grid sectors showing growth.
