"Kelsey Blongewicz, a policy analyst at Atlas Public Policy, told Business Insider that if those funds are released before Trump takes office on January 20th, as they have been in previous years, then it is unlikely the new administration could revoke them. "If that funding is released before then, in theory, it is safe," Blongewicz said. "It would be not impossible, but very hard for the new administration to claw that back," she added. https://lnkd.in/geMwewbY

“One of President-elect Trump’s signature campaign issues was to orient manufacturing back to the United States,” said Nick Nigro, founder of the research firm Atlas Public Policy. “And it’s kind of counterintuitive, but the consumer EV credit — 30D — is a really important incentive to achieve that goal.” In an August report, Atlas Public Policy tracked nearly $1.2 trillion in global investment in the transition from fossil-fueled vehicles to battery-electric. Of this total, $312 billion is expected to be invested in U.S. manufacturing, with about $223 billion already committed. The impact of repealing the 30D credit on those investments is “uncertain, but it’s going to be negative,” he said. “That will lead to delay or cancellation of some of those investments, or perhaps the shrinking of them. And that could have a material effect on jobs.” https://lnkd.in/ePhDpDdk

With access to two major shipping routes, #Ohio plays a large role in maritime shipping. A 2018 report found that shipping along the Ohio River was linked to over 37,000 direct, induced, and indirect jobs and $26.5 billion in economic activity for the state. At the same time, they are also sources of greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. Backed by $126 million in federal and state grants, the Port of Cleveland is working to electrify some of its operations. This brief by Stephen Naimoli and Katherine Shok, supported by the CHARGE Coalition, explores electrification initiatives to reduce port emissions and identify the challenges ahead in ensuring ports can power the economy, without a cost to communities and the environment. https://lnkd.in/etvqMdpt
