Biden Is Giving Red Districts an Inconvenient Gift: Green Jobs
The White House’s policies have fueled plans for more than $200 billion in cleantech manufacturing investments — mostly in districts with Republican lawmakers opposed to the agenda.
Hopefully, this will dampen the desire for red states to sabotage and dismantle green energy initiatives. By making them dependent on “Big Wind” and “Big Solar” we can lessen their dependency on, and appetite for, “Big Oil.”
However, these red states will still be red so it is not necessarily a win for Biden in that sense; I doubt he will be rewarded electorally for this. But making red states dependent on wind and solar is a step towards forcing republicans to support green energy over fossil fuels and getting climate change under control.
