Today, non-partisan analysts at Energy Innovation released new modeling detailing the potential impacts of Project 2025 in each state. The new analysis compares two scenarios—one in which the radical Project 2025 agenda is implemented and another where the historic climate achievements of the Biden-Harris administration are protected and recent state progress is maintained. In every state modeled, the results find that Project 2025 will result in significant job and GDP losses, higher household energy costs, and higher climate pollution by 2035.

In Pennsylvania, the modeling projects that Project 2025 would stunt economic growth and cost Pennsylvanian families billions over the next ten years, resulting in:

• Increased average annual energy costs of nearly $390 per household in 2035,
• $8.37 billion reduction in GDP in 2035, and
• Nearly 55,500 jobs lost in 2035.

“Pennsylvania families can’t afford billions in additional energy costs, but that’s exactly what Project 2025 would give them. Pennsylvanians want and deserve a clean energy future—including the overwhelming 78 percent of voters who support significantly expanding clean energy in the Commonwealth,” said Julia Kortrey, Evergreen Action deputy state policy director. “Project 2025 would fly in the face of what voters want and directly cost Pennsylvanian families in higher energy bills and lost economic opportunity. It’s imperative that Pennsylvania’s burgeoning clean manufacturing and clean energy economy aren't knocked out in one fell swoop.”
