Biggest Winners of Biden’s Green Climate Policies? Republicans

The Inflation Reduction Act, which contained the largest climate investment in US history, would “throw money at woke climate and social programs that won’t work” Hudson said

But Hudson – now the head of House Republicans’ campaign committee – is one of the members of Congress whose district has benefitted the most from the climate law and its massive investment in clean energy.

About $12.7 billion in private investment has been announced in Hudson’s district since the bill passed, the second-highest amount in the nation. Much of it is from Toyota expanding a gargantuan car battery plant that has tripled in size since it was first announced. The factory will span the length of 756 football fields and will spur 5,100 new jobs, the company estimates.

Hudson isn’t alone. House Republicans uniformly voted against the IRA in August 2022 and have voted to repeal some of its biggest programs dozens of times, but their districts are disproportionately reaping its benefits.

The vast majority of the $346-billion-worth of announced investments – nearly 78% – has gone to Republican congressional districts

More than three quarters of announced clean energy investments are in Republican districts​

Republican districts are awash in climate investment​

In states including Georgia, Arizona and Texas, House Republicans are seeing a deluge of cash and jobs flowing into their districts as companies use clean energy tax credits to construct factories to build EVs and their batteries, and as massive wind, solar, hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel projects come online.

In Georgia’s 11th district, Rep. Barry Loudermilk has touted the construction of a massive EV battery factory by Hyundai and SK Battery America, which is projected to create more than 3,500 jobs. The factory comprises nearly 70% of the $7.4 billion that has flowed into his district.

What has Biden done you Republicans ask? WOW!

It makes perfect sense .. from your article:

The reason so much private money has flowed to Republican districts is simple, according to Rhodium’s Houser: They have more land

“Republican districts tend to be more rural,” Houser said. “It’s very hard to build large industrial facilities in dense urban areas.” Comparatively, Rhodium and MIT’s data shows that retail sales of EVs and rooftop solar panels are stronger in Democratic districts (heat pumps are more popular in red districts due to their prolific use in the South).

In addition, Republican states have laxer labor laws and several states, including Georgia, have put together enticing state tax packages to lure big companies.

“That’s where the pro-business policies are,” Loudermilk said. “They’re going to areas that are welcome for growth and have limited obsessive regulation.”

Thank you Democrats!

Build EVs?... why?... no one wants them... there are thousands sitting on car lots.... dems keep trying to push this square peg into a round hole....

“It’s very hard to build large industrial facilities in dense urban areas.”

Even more difficult when Nazis like AOC intentionally deny companies like Amazon the opportunity to bring jobs to their districts.

This is what the DemoKKKrats want.

Cry, baby, cry. Money is going to republicans for climate because the red states are the producers of energy, produce, etc., while blue states are just takers and consumers.

Or, they'll be happy working in those green jobs rather than in the coal mine.

Too bad those green jobs will only pay a fraction as much though.

That's the point, of course. The DemoKKKrat party's primary purpose is to create poor people.

Well sure, Marv. Coal mining pays very well because it is hard work, long hours and dangerous. Not everyone can do it. "Green" jobs are mostly installing, replacing, and servicing solar panels and windmills. Well, most installation and service techs don't make a whole lot of money because it isn't that hard, worse, the whole idea behind green energy is that once you install a solar panel, hopefully it just sits there and works for 20 years! And while windmills are a bit more work, there aren't that many of them or their needing work that often to create that many jobs, otherwise, they wouldn't be cost effective. And I won't even bring up the eye sore and the millions of birds killed every year.

Meanwhile, much of those mills and panels are made in foreign countries, so there isn't often even the manufacturing.

That makes the whole "green jobs" promise thing worth about as much as Obumma's promise to keep your doctor while saving you $2500 a year.

 

[sealybobo]

I feel like I'm in bizzaro world. Suddenly it's Republicans worrying that green jobs won't pay as well as, say oil and gas jobs?

Why not? And maybe those workers will organize.

Is it because most of those green jobs are in red states? Those people don't care about how much they make. They're just happy to be working. It's why they bend over and take it. Walmart jobs. Or, the company threatens them if they ask for more they'll send the jobs to Mexico and the workers down south have no balls.

Did you know studying how to protect the planet often leads to a good paycheck, too? Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that many scientists and engineers in green jobs had wages that were higher than the $45,760 median for all occupations in 2021.Apr 18, 2023

Chart showing the 2021 median annual wages for 10 green jobs, ranging from $64,750 to $102,270.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Congress passed and President Joe Biden signed into law one of the most consequential climate bills in U.S. history. The Inflation Reduction Act allocates $369 billion to clean energy and electric vehicle tax breaks, domestic manufacturing of batteries and solar panels, and pollution-reduction efforts.

In addition to mitigating the effects of climate change and driving consumption of renewable energy, these investments will add jobs in the clean energy sector—some estimates say as many as 912,000 per year over the next decade. As employment in the fossil fuel industry dwindles amid changes in U.S. energy markets, new research suggests that the growth in renewable energy benefits U.S. workers and is particularly good for workers who live in areas with high rates of employment in fossil-fuel extraction industries.

Just say thank you

These are the Faux "News" "Republicans," all left wing, all PRO ISRAEL, all for stealing as much as they can. They ALL KNOW the Co2 FRAUD is FRAUD. Heck, none of the "conservative media" will even ask basic climate questions...

Any honest media person with the courage to actually ask climate questions?

Apparently not. Not on Faux Not on RAV or OANN What questions will the media never ask? 1. Why does one Earth polar circle have 9+ times the ice of the other? 2. Why is there ice age glacier south of Arctic Circle on Greenland but no such ice age glacier north of Arctic Circle on Alaska...

The Democrat Party never changes.

Faux and the "pro Israel Christians" have completely wrecked the GOP....

 

[elektra]

Just like scum moronic democrats, spend $1trillion on green energy.

Mandate that toyota make batteries

Than say, "look, the toyota plant has always been in this Congressional district so the last person to win the election less than 2 years ago is benefitting.

Is this a childhood game of tag?
Entrapment
Baiting

Idiots, 1% of what is being spent goes to one corporation. Hardly a significant amount. And it is mandated by Kamala/Democrat policy

Somehow, I don't see a whole lotta coal miners wanting to get an engineering degree incurring $100,000 in school loan debt to take a job that is a $20,000 a year PAY CUT.

Wadda dummy.

• Average net worth: $1,132,532 (ages 50-54), $1,442,075 (ages 55-59)
• Median net worth: $272,800 (ages 50-54), $320,700 (ages 55-59)

I fall in the average. How about you? I bet you fall in the median. So who's a dummy me or you?
