Biden To Deliver Remarks Announcing New Green Energy Measures

US

President Biden is shortly due to announce USD$7 billion in grants for solar energy projects and an expansion to his “New Deal-style” American Climate Corps green jobs program in a speech to mark Earth Day in Triangle, Virginia. LIVESTREAM

  • The White House said in a statement the new measures will, “deliver residential solar power to over 900,000 households in low-income and disadvantaged communities, saving overburdened households more than $350 million in electricity costs annually – approximately $400 per household – and avoiding more than 30 million metric tons of carbon pollution over the next 25 years.”
  • AP notes: “Biden’s latest environmental announcements come as he is working to energize young voters for his reelection campaign. Young people were a key part of a broad but potentially fragile coalition that helped him defeat then-President Donald Trump in 2020. Some have joined protests around the country of the administration’s handling of Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.”
  • CNN notes: "The announcements come days after the Biden administration made several significant conservation announcements, including barring oil drilling on nearly half of the national petroleum reserve in Alaska."
