Chattanooga, T.N. — Energy Secretary Granholm and White House Senior Advisor Landrieu’s Tennessee Invest in America tour stop will spotlight how President Biden’s clean energy plan is turbocharging the state’s clean economy. President Biden’s clean energy plan is invigorating Tennessee’s economy, creating Made in America jobs, and bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. 

Thanks to President Biden’s affordable clean energy plan, Tennessee’s economy is thriving, providing family-sustaining jobs to the state’s residents. In the months since the Inflation Reduction Act passed, $5.6 billion has been invested to turbocharge Tennessee’s economy, creating 3,850 new clean energy jobs.
