LCV Statement on Biden’s Clean Energy Rules Investment 

Oct 24, 2024

Washington, D.C.– Today, in response to the Treasury Department and the IRS issuing final rules on the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (45X), which will further accelerate onshoring clean energy supply chains, strengthening domestic sourcing, and expanding U.S. clean energy manufacturing, the League of Conservation Voters released the following statement from Vice President of Federal Policy, Matthew Davis: 

“Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, clean energy manufacturing in the U.S. is booming, and is providing hundreds of thousands of family-sustaining jobs and strengthening energy security that only making our own domestic clean energy can provide. These climate actions are driving investments in communities of color, rural communities, and communities of low wealth, previously overlooked for clean energy investments, allowing all people to benefit from these federal investments. We congratulate the Biden-Harris administration for continuing to implement their historic affordable clean energy plan that is delivering hundreds of billions of dollars of economic investments around the country, cutting pollution, and reducing energy costs for families and look forward to continuing to work with them to build a clean energy economy.”
