<p>President Biden&rsquo;s clean energy plan is the largest investment in climate progress in US history. Thanks to the climate plan, energy bills are coming down and hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying jobs in clean energy are being created across the country. In 2024 and beyond, it&rsquo;s up to us to tell the story of how climate action and clean energy investment are rebuilding our economy, lowering energy costs, and protecting our planet for future generations.</p>
