Jobs in renewable energy have seen enormous growth in the past few years — as alternative energy sources became more affordable, solar and wind industries have created jobs 12 times faster than the rest of the economy, according to a report from the Environmental Defense Fund. Additionally, in 2016, one out of every 50 jobs created was in solar energy. Climate change advocates have expressed frustration that, by neglecting potential renewable energy jobs, the president and Congress are missing an opportunity.

"Trump's current approach is basically ignoring an entire industry that has grown up over the last 10 years or so and is quite robust," Liz Delaney, the program director at the Environmental Defense Fund’s Climate Corps program, said in January.
