Energy efficiency is the largest clean energy sector and bore the majority of the job losses; advanced transportation was particularly hard hit, likely amplified by the drawback in electric vehicle (EV) sales (after growing more than 80% in 2018 in the US, EV sales fell slightly in 2019). How much does this impact the energy transition?
