#Technology #CleanTech #EconomicDevelopment - "How states can capture the economic potential of clean energy incentives. RMI and the Brookings Institution have developed a free resource — the?Clean Growth Tool?— that maps out the places where clean energy industries of different kinds are most likely to thrive. This resource shows where clean energy industries can most feasibly grow in communities across all 50 states, given existing workforce strengths and related economic capabilities. It likewise shows the workforce gaps every community must bridge to improve their long-term industrial competitiveness." #NCTEDD . https://lnkd.in/gaBy9f8w . ____
