Copenhagen Consensus president Bjorn Lomborg discusses Biden's electric vehicle push to combat climate change.
On Wednesday, President Biden and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm announced the $2.8 billion "investment" in EV battery companies and said explicitly that their decision to provide federal funding for these projects was conditioned on a promise to advance the DEIA agenda. Of the 20 companies that won awards, five said they would boost production in "disadvantaged communities," and 13 agreed to negotiate workforce and community agreements aimed at engagement with "host communities, labor unions and/or Tribal entities to agree on community benefits and implementation plans."
Companies made a range of specific DEIA-related promises as a condition of receiving the federal funding. Amprius received $50 million from the government and said it is "committed to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts."
