Georgia's EV Boom Is 'At Risk,' Senators Warn
Briefly

Georgia is emerging as a leader in clean energy, boasting $28 billion worth of projects aimed at generating 42,000 manufacturing jobs, particularly focused on electric vehicles. These initiatives are significant in reducing reliance on foreign supply chains, especially from China. However, the political climate, marked by resistance against the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), poses risks to this sector. A recent report by Senator Warnock calls for preserving key clean energy tax credits, with support from both Republican and Democratic leaders, stressing their importance to sustain this economic momentum.
