Gov. Beshear: Trump’s Vow to Repeal Tax Credits for Green Energy Projects Is ‘Concerning for Red States’ That Have Many Jobs in Those Sectors

EXCERPT:

BESHEAR: “Well, it's really concerning. You look at a state like Kentucky, that voted for President--elect Trump by 30 points. And it's 10,000 EV--related jobs on the line. And those are only growing. Go up to Ohio and look at that -- I think $20 billion chips factory, which I'm a little bit jealous of, but happy for the people of Ohio, and what that would mean. Another state that voted for the president-elect. So, you look at all of these jobs, and jobs of the future, that have come to what the administration will probably view as red states. It's important that these projects continue. Remember, a lot of the people taking these jobs, jobs that support their families, voted for President--elect Trump because they thought that would improve their job, that he was focused on their job. So, I hope that he will get good advice, and I'll do everything I can to get my message out through our federal delegation of how important these jobs are. And they're not in urban Kentucky. They're in rural Kentucky. They are game-changing investments that have created a bright future here.”
