WH Climate Adviser McCarthy: Rural Communities Need Electric Vehicles and New Farming Techniques

EXCERPT:

MCCARTHY: “This is not just about the urban areas, this is about our rural communities. They need opportunities for electric vehicles. They need opportunities for new farming techniques. They need opportunities to make sure that they can produce our food, but also make sure that we’re tackling the drought so that we can address those issues all in one. So this is an opportunity not just for the Dorchesters of the world but the Iowas of the world. And we know that wind is wild in Iowa, they’re capturing it. Everybody knows that clean energy is the future. The real question is, who’s going to build it, who’s going to produce those products, and who’s going to lead the world? This bill is telling you the answer to those three questions is the United States of America. Our workers, our families are the ones that are going to benefit.”
