STATEMENT: Clean Energy for America Applauds President Biden’s “Bidenomics” Speech in Chicago
(Washington, D.C.) – Today, President Joe Biden gave a speech in Chicago on his economic record for workers and consumers, especially with clean energy jobs and savings. In response, CE4A Executive Director Andrew Reagan released the following statement:
"As the president described, we’re in the midst of an incredible clean energy expansion powered by the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. In 2022, all 50 states and the nation’s capital saw a total of 114,000 new, good-paying clean energy jobs. This economic boom is delivering unprecedented benefits to America’s workers and consumers. It’s driving innovation in clean energy technologies — from distributed solar, wind, storage and EV batteries — and it’s delivering hundreds of thousands good-paying jobs to hard-working Americans.
“President Biden’s economic achievements are powering our economy to new heights while making measurable reductions in the carbon pollution that threatens our health and our climate. Clearly, the ‘Bidenomics’ approach lifts all boats — including for workers."
