Trump’s Visit to Atlanta Highlights What’s at Stake in November: 30,000+ Clean Energy Jobs and Hundreds of Environmental Protections

Atlanta, GA— Today, Donald Trump visited Atlanta, which stands to lose over 30,661 good-paying clean energy jobs right here in Georgia and $23.8 billion in private-sector investment if he wins the presidency in November. These clean energy jobs and investment funds were spurred by the Biden-Harris administration’s clean energy plan, which congressional Republicans have already voted to repeal more than 42 times. According to recent polling, more than seven in ten voters support the Biden-Harris administration’s clean energy plan. 

“Former President Trump’s latest visit to Atlanta reminds us of the progress made by the Biden-Harris administration’s clean energy plan to lower energy costs and create hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs in Georgia and across the nation,” said André Crombie, Climate Power’s States Interim Managing Director. “A Trump administration would undo this progress.” 

Trump and his allies are already putting the White House up for sale. Weeks before becoming a convicted felon, Trump offered Big Oil companies a “deal”: $1 billion to implement their agenda of crushing clean energy. While president, Trump gave $25 billion in tax breaks to Big Oil. Now, they’re financing his legal defense and his campaign.

Vice President Harris will put the American people before Big Oil. 63% of voters say they want the president to stand up to Big Oil, not cozy up to them. The Biden-Harris administration stood up to Big Oil with a clean energy plan that represents the most significant climate investment in American history, all while lowering costs and creating more than 300,000 good-paying jobs—jobs that Trump will jeopardize if elected.
