These and other policies and programs also provide support to nascent and emerging clean energy businesses to enable their development and long-term viability. Together these policies have both near- and long-term impacts on the acceleration of regional clean energy companies and jobs, and the adoption of clean energy solutions to energy and environmental concerns, including energy costs, energy source diversity, energy security and reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions.
