Jason Walsh: People have been talking about the Build Back Better bill as a social safety bill, among other things, but we want to talk about it as a jobs bill that builds an economy for more people.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: Probably the biggest job creator for clean energy over the last 10 years has been clean energy tax credits. We have prevailing wage & Buy American, which both are incl in clean energy tax credits, not only creating jobs but lifting job access.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: We're at a pretty historic point in the history of American vehicles. There will be tax credits for buying electric vehicles (EV) made in the US, & add'l tax credits for EV made by US union workers.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: The American people, whether Repub, Dem, or Independent, will only embrace change to clean energy economy if they see financial gains.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: Too long, our elected officials have run away from the idea that we can use energy policy to help workers & families.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: I would say the people of WV have seen more of the economic pain than the economic gain of this transfer to clean energy. They're lacking in investment in clean energy, investments in critical infrastructure like mass transit, broadband, etc.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: It's interesting that Trump talked for four years about passing an infrastructure bill but didn't. President Biden did.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: The House & Senate need to pass the Build Back Better plan & then pass it to Pres. Biden to be signed.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: We've done polling, testing plain English descriptions of the Build Back Better act, & we've found 90%+ support. Given the state of politics today, every Republican Senator will probably vote against it.
@BGAlliance

Jason Walsh: Ask your elected officials in the House & the Senate to vote for Build Back Better. I would certainly like listeners in WV to contact Joe Manchin.
