U.S. taking ‘significant steps back’ on clean energy, says BESI Climate lead Jonas Meckling

In a recent article for the BiGS Actionable Intelligence, the blog for the Institute for Business in a Global Society (BiGS) at Harvard Business School, BESI Climate research lead Jonas Meckling observes that with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the U.S. is taking “significant steps back” on clean energy. This move comes as other countries are ramping up their green industrial strategies.

Meckling predicts that progress will be slower as domestic support cools and global competition heats up. U.S. clean energy companies will need to learn “how to survive in these global markets with lower support,” he says.

The Green Industrial Strategy (GISt) project, which Meckling is co-director of, is a joint effort between BiGS and BESI, with support from the Center for Innovation and Sustainability in Business. The project examines how business and government can create, scale, and compete in clean tech markets to accelerate decarbonization.
