Biden Administration’s Tax Breaks Drive Surge in Clean Energy Funding
According to Smart News, in an important move to help areas that used to depend on coal Janet Yellen who’s in charge of the money in the U.S. shared some big news. She said that investments in clean energy have more than doubled to $4.5 billion per month in these places. This increase is because of special tax breaks given by President Biden‘s team in a law called the Inflation Reduction Act. Yellen thinks this shows how serious the government is about making clean energy a big part of the economy.

Yellen’s Visit Spotlights Transition to Clean Energy in Kentucky
Yellen’s trip to Kentucky shows how these tax breaks are making a real difference. In Elizabethtown, she talked about how companies are investing lots of money in making batteries for electric cars. At one factory they’re spending $49 million and there are even bigger projects in the works. These factories are getting help from the government through tax breaks and this is changing Kentucky’s economy for the better. Kentucky is known for producing a lot of coal but now Yellen is trying to help the state shift towards cleaner industries. By giving out incentives like tax breaks the government wants to bring more businesses and jobs related to electric cars and clean energy to Kentucky. This not only helps the environment but also creates new opportunities for people in places that used to rely heavily on coal. Yellen’s visit to Kentucky is a sign that things are changing for the better in these areas.
