“I think it’s great that the president is putting such a strong focus on clean energy,” said John Doe, a St. Paul resident who attended the event. “We need to move away from dirty fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources like hydrogen. It’s good for the environment, and it’s good for the economy.”
In addition to discussing the importance of clean energy, President Biden also highlighted the economic benefits of investing in this sector. He noted that clean energy jobs are growing at a faster rate than other sectors of the economy and that investments in clean energy can help create good-paying jobs for Americans.
“We can put millions of Americans to work in good-paying jobs installing solar panels, building wind turbines, and manufacturing electric vehicles,” the president said. “We can power our homes, our businesses, and our communities with clean, renewable energy, and we can do it in a way that creates jobs and grows the economy.”
The president’s visit to the 3M facility comes at a time when clean energy is becoming an increasingly popular topic for politicians and the public alike. The push for clean energy is driven by concerns over climate change, as well as a desire to reduce dependence on foreign oil.
