Biden Must Highlight Benefits of Clean Energy

President Joe Biden’s climate accomplishments thus far owe much to his framing of clean energy policy as an economic strategy. “When I hear climate, I think jobs,” he often says. And he’s right. In just the first year since he convinced Democrats in Congress to pass his signature climate law, it has spurred $278 billion in new public and private sector clean energy investment, creating 170,000 jobs and putting the U.S. in a better position to counter China’s burgeoning clean energy sector.
