VIEWPOINT | Don’t want green energy jobs? We’ll take them

“Some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that’s underway in America, but nobody – nobody – can reverse it. Nobody. Not when so many people, regardless of party or politics, are enjoying its benefits.” Still-President Joe Biden said that on a recent visit to Brazil.

His administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, for example, included $400 billion in subsidies for solar power, electric vehicles and other renewable energy technologies. Its goal is to slash carbon emissions, the main driver of climate change and the environmental chaos it unleashes.

President-elect Donald Trump has called climate change a “hoax.” And drilling remains his answer for every energy question.
