The Spin
Democratic narrative
Biden is proving he takes clean energy seriously. These moves will help the US continue on the road to achieving its carbon reduction goals, as well as become energy independent. A win-win for the environment and economy alike.
Republican narrative
Biden can come up with solutions like invoking the DPA, but the Democrats' utopia of green energy creating hundreds of thousands of manufacturing will never come true because most of those jobs will go to countries with lower labor and energy costs.
