The number of people currently in the clean energy sector, however, surpassed 4.5 million. The number of jobs in the clean energy sector grows twelve times faster than the rest of the US economy (EDF). In fact, jobs created by clean energy would surpass the number of offshore drilling jobs created along the Atlantic Coast by 2 to 1 (Oceana). Also, the GDP the clean energy sector contributes grows rapidly and will surpass $1.3 trillion by 2030 (Guerrini). Additionally, offshore drilling threatens jobs that rely on a clean ocean.
