根據該報告，去年清潔能源領域增長最快的領域是零排放車輛、可再生能源以及輸電、配電和儲能。
"Our policies are working. We are now starting to see the job impacts of investments made through the infrastructure and inflation reduction laws – first in construction and as America builds more of these factories, we'll see hundreds of thousands more," U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm said in a statement.
