President Joe Biden is set to visit Colorado this week for a campaign reception in Denver and a visit to CS Wind in Pueblo, where he will give remarks on clean energy manufacturing. The trip was previously postponed in October due to conflicts in the Middle East.
The US Department of Energy has created an interactive map that showcases the growth of clean energy manufacturing across the country. Since the start of the Biden administration, over 500 clean energy investments have been announced, totaling more than $160 billion. The map allows users to filter by technology, reported dollar amount, and reported number of jobs created. The Inflation Reduction Act has played a significant role in driving this clean energy growth, with Pennsylvania seeing a notable increase in factories in the battery, solar, and EV charger categories. California leads in clean energy investment manufacturing announcements, with 52 investments totaling over $5 billion. The map provides a visual representation of the action being taken to combat climate change and grow the economy.
President Biden mocked Rep. Lauren Boebert and other Republicans during a speech on clean energy manufacturing, highlighting how they voted against funding bills that supported projects in their own districts. Biden specifically mentioned Boebert's district in Colorado, where a wind tower manufacturing plant is being constructed. The president has been calling out GOP members who tout projects they opposed, such as Sen. Tommy Tuberville's celebration of federal funding for expanded broadband internet access in Alabama. Biden emphasized his commitment to being president for all Americans, including funding initiatives in red states and districts.
