"Trump's broader campaign against clean energy resulted in the cancellation of nearly $35 billion in U.S. projects last year, according to a report by E2, a clean energy business group."
"Kiggans could be even more at risk after Virginia voters on Tuesday approved a new congressional map that makes her competitive district more Democratic than before."
"Trump has treated energy issues as another front in the nation's cultural clashes, referring to Democrats' support for clean energy as the 'Green New Scam.'"
"Elaine Luria, a former congresswoman, stated that Kiggans' advocacy did nothing in the face of Trump's onslaught against clean energy initiatives."
Rep. Jen Kiggans supports a significant wind farm project in Virginia, which is expected to create jobs despite the political risks posed by Trump's anti-clean energy stance. Trump's actions led to the cancellation of $35 billion in U.S. clean energy projects, disproportionately affecting Republican districts. Kiggans faces increased competition after a new congressional map favors Democrats. Despite her advocacy, critics argue it has been ineffective against Trump's opposition to clean energy, which he labels as a cultural issue and derides as 'stupid and ugly.'
