The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced the launch of its Clean Energy Corps, which is made up of staff from more than a dozen offices across the Department who are working together to research, develop, demonstrate, and deploy solutions to climate change. The Clean Energy Corps is recruiting 1,000 new staff using a special hiring authority included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help implement the Law's historic infusion of $62 billion in funding and accelerate the nation's drive to a clean energy future. This critical step marks the largest staff expansion at DOE since its establishment in 1977 and advances President Biden's goals to create good paying jobs, spur economic growth and reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
