Dan Misch, Veterans Advanced Energy Project Founder and Co-Director, published an OpEd today in Energy News Network about the negative impact that COVID19 is having on job opportunities for military veterans and advocates for support in future stimulus packages:
Veteran employment in energy is declining in relation to industry growth despite being traditionally higher (9%) than the national average (6%)

Continuing support for clean energy jobs is good for veterans, the economy, and US national security
