Bob Keefe is the Executive Director of the national nonpartisan group E2 - Environmental Entrepreneurs, and author of "Clean Economy NOW: Stories from the Front Lines of an American Business Revolution." Bob is a seasoned journalist, passing on his experiences with 10,000 business leaders dedicated to promoting sustainable environmental practices amidst an economy in change since the 2022 passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). New factories are building where old ones once existed, some abandoned. South Carolina, as an example, sees the manufacture of batteries, a necessity now more than ever, and available 'at home'. Washington state, meanwhile, sees the manufacture of electric planes taking place, as well as transitioning older diesel semis to electrics. This translates to an increase in available and better paying jobs in our communities. Bob cautions the progress is dependent on these policies continuing to move forward, toward a clearer environment and a healthier community.
