President Biden said his climate spending would create thousands of jobs for the next generation. All Drago for The New York Times
President Biden today visited a national park in Virginia, where he announced $7 billion in grants to fund solar power for hundreds of thousands of homes, primarily in disadvantaged communities.
The event was designed in part to build enthusiasm among young people, a crucial constituency for Biden’s re-election bid. A recent poll found that roughly 58 percent of voters had heard “little” or “nothing at all” about his signature climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed in 2022.
