So this visit by President Biden is no accident. Hes trying to turbo charge the market for Electric Vehicles, that is part of his policy to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. His signature legislation, well, its known as the inflation reduction act, and it includes billions of dollars in incentives to get more clean cars on the road. President ial opponent, donald trump, who is also visiting michigan on wednesday, well, theyve argued the shift to Electric Vehicles will killjobs because, after all, it takes fewer people to make a battery than a combustion engine.
