據今日油價網站4月17日消息 全球正在應對最嚴重的危機之一，疫情沖擊市場并導致數千萬人失業。僅在清潔能源行業，3月份就失去了10萬多個工作崗位，而且情況可能會更糟。

環境保護企業（E2）最近的一份報告顯示，3月份清潔能源工人提出的失業申請有10.6萬件，其中能源效率行業的失業申請69.8萬件，可再生能源行業的失業申請1.65萬件，清潔汽車行業的失業申請1.23萬件，電網、倉儲和清潔燃料7700件。

研究顯示，3月份的裁員潮只是一個開始。對能源的需求驟減，如果國會不采取行動，全國范圍內的封鎖令將使得到6月底清潔能源行業可能會失去多達50萬個工作崗位。

E2執行董事鮑勃基夫指出，“這是我們經濟的一個巨大而重要的組成部分，國會為讓我們的經濟重新站穩腳跟、讓美國重新開始工作所做的一切，絕對應該包括對這樣一個規模的產業的關注。”

除了立即得到立法者的支持外，倡導者還呼吁國會利用這一行業幫助重建經濟，就像2008年經濟危機后美國《復蘇和再投資法》所做的那樣。

E2報告提出了一項計劃，其中包括300-900億美元用于改善電網，為廣泛的可再生能源部署計劃做準備，該計劃將包括一個全國性的電動汽車充電網絡和建筑電氣化計劃。此外，該計劃還增加了對能源部研發項目的資助。

Rystad Lowers Production Outlook For Shale By 2.15 Million Bpd

The world is grappling with one of the most - if not the most - devasting crises of a generation. It's forced people into their homes, cratered the markets and has lead to tens of millions of lost jobs. In the clean energy industry alone, over 100,000 jobs were lost in March. And it's likely to get much worse.

A recent report from Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) revealed that there were 106,000 unemployment claims filed by clean energy workers in the month of March, with 69,8000 claims coming from the energy efficiency industry, 16,500 coming from the renewable energy industry, 12,300 from the clean vehicles industry, and 7,700 from grids, storage, and clean fuels.

The wave of layoffs in March is just the beginning, according to the study. Demand for energy has plummeted, and the nationwide lockdown orders If no action is taken by Congress, as much as 500,000 jobs could be lost within the clean energy sector by the end of June.

E2 executive director Bob Keefe noted, “It’s a huge and important part of our economy,” adding, “Anything that Congress does to get our economy back on its feet and to get America working again should absolutely include a focus on an industry of that size.”

In addition to immediate support from lawmakers, advocates are also calling on Congress to use the industry to help rebuild the economy as it did following the economic crisis of 2008 with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The E2 report proposes a program that includes $30-90 billion in spending to improve grids to prepare for an extensive renewable energy deployment program which will incorporate a nationwide electric vehicle charging network and building electrification program. Additionally, its plan adds increased funding to the Department of Energy research and development programs.
