When I think of fighting the climate crisis, I think of good-paying jobs for American workers. According to a new report released this week, in the two years since I signed the Inflation Reduction Act, companies have announced more than 330,000 new clean energy jobs. Many of these jobs are high-paying, union jobs that don't require a college degree, including electricians, construction workers, and mechanics working on innovative clean energy projects. Thanks to my Administration's policies, these new jobs are supporting the manufacturing boom and lowering costs for families by increasing access to affordable clean energy - including wind and solar.
Despite this progress, Republicans in the House of Representatives want to take our country backwards and have voted many times to repeal these transformative policies - even though more than half of these jobs are created in their districts. I will continue to fight for American families by lowering utility bills and increasing access to good-paying union jobs.
