Trump’s Visit to Glendale Highlights Threat to 18,000+ Clean Energy Jobs in Arizona and Significant Investment in Maricopa County

Phoenix, AZ — Today, Donald Trump visited Glendale, AZ where the state stands to lose more than 18,000 clean energy jobs and $11 billion in private-sector investment if he wins the presidency in November. According to recent polling, more than seven in ten voters support the Biden-Harris administration’s clean energy plan. Despite that, Congressional Republicans have already voted to repeal the clean energy plan 42 times.

“Arizona residents know that the investments from the Biden-Harris clean energy plan are lowering costs, reducing pollution, and bringing good-paying clean energy jobs into our communities,” said Diali Avila, AZ State Desk for Climate Power. “A Trump-Vance administration would mean erasing all of the good jobs and clean energy progress that Arizona has made over the past three and a half years.”

Trump and his allies are already selling out the American people. Weeks before being convicted, Trump offered Big Oil executives a “deal”: he asked for $1 billion for his campaign. And he promised 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, consumer energy savings and creating more than 334,000 good-paying jobs—jobs that Trump will threaten if elected in November.
