Solves globally through exports
Woodruff, Alcindor and Deese 11-9-2021 (“White House ‘confident’ Congress will pass Build Back Better bill,” PBS,” pbs.org/newshour/show/white-house-confident-congress-will-pass-build-back-better-bill)
Yamiche Alcindor: And, Brian, in the last administration that you worked for — that would be former President Obama — you were also a key expert on climate change. I want to ask you about climate change in this bill. Are you worried that there are critics who think that you gave up too much on climate and that this bill is too watered down as it relates to those issues? Brian Deese: This bill, as it's structured, would be the largest and most significant investment in climate change in our nation's history by a significant factor. It would, if enacted, reduce one gigaton of emissions from our economy. And, most importantly, it would spark new economic engines in our economy, from the electric vehicle industry, to the clean power industry, not only putting people to work in good-paying jobs around the country, but creating new export opportunities, so that the United States is actually exporting the next generation of, for example, American-made vehicles, electric clean vehicles all around the world.
