President Biden recently visited CS Wind in Pueblo, Colorado, on November 29, 2023, underscoring the pivotal role the Inflation Reduction Act plays in fostering job opportunities and clean energy growth. CS Wind stands as the world's largest wind tower manufacturer and is experiencing significant expansion thanks to Bidenomics.

CS Wind's Impressive Growth:

Earlier this year, CS Wind embarked on a groundbreaking $200 million expansion in Pueblo, directly attributing this investment to the Inflation Reduction Act—a crucial component of President Biden's economic agenda. The expansion is set to create 850 new jobs in Colorado's third congressional district by 2026, addressing the increasing demand for wind towers and bringing clean energy supply chains to the United States.

Bidenomics in Action:

Since President Biden took office, over $7 billion in new manufacturing and clean energy investments have been announced in Colorado. The Inflation Reduction Act has played a pivotal role in this economic growth, contributing to the creation of over 3,500 well-paying clean energy jobs in the state within just one year.

Benefits to Underserved Communities:

A Department of the Treasury analysis revealed that clean energy investments spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act are disproportionately benefiting economically disadvantaged communities. In Colorado, 99% of these investments are in counties with below-average wages, median household income, and college graduation rates, while 68% are in counties with higher-than-average child poverty rates.

Opposition and Economic Impact:

Despite these positive developments, self-described MAGA Republican Representative Lauren Boebert has been a vocal critic of the Inflation Reduction Act. Boebert's opposition poses a threat to the substantial economic benefits the act is bringing to her home district, jeopardizing over 800 jobs from a single project alone.

Representative Boebert's criticism of the infrastructure law contrasts with its tangible benefits for her constituents.
