Granholm says voters have not felt benefits of Biden green agenda: ‘We were a year early’
Lasting effects of President Joe Biden’s green policy agenda still have yet to be seen, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said this week, indicating that the Trump administration will be able to take credit for some of the expected economic growth.
In an interview with the Financial Times published Friday, Granholm revealed that she believes many of the effects of the Biden administration’s energy agenda will not be felt for at least another year.
This includes projects, jobs, manufacturing advancements, funding, and more authorized through legislation such as the Democratic-passed Inflation Reduction Act and the bipartisan Chips and Science Act. These legislative packages have been estimated to have led to nearly $400 billion in investments by companies in clean tech and semiconductor manufacturing, which could entail the addition of 135,000 jobs. However, it will still take time to see those returns.
“I think we were a year early, almost, to be able to see” the impact, Granholm told the outlet. “The notion of feeling it, seeing steel on the ground, seeing people being hired, it’s still a little early.”
