Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled new solar power investments in the district of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shortly after Greene traveled to New York City for a protest against the arraignment of former President Donald Trump.

Harris touted efforts from the Biden administration to increase spending on renewable energy initiatives in remarks delivered Thursday at a Qcells manufacturing facility in Dalton, Georgia. She contended that residents of the small city are benefiting from the administration’s policies.

“President Joe Biden and I know this is just the beginning. Dalton, we see what you have accomplished, and we see the path that you’ve laid,” she commented. “Since taking office, our administration has made the largest investment in solar energy in our nation’s history. We’ve strengthened domestic supply chains to make sure America has reliable access to parts and material to build a clean energy technology and economy. We provided tax credits to encourage companies to buy solar panels made in America. And we invested billions more to build and expand factories like this one.”

Greene responded to the visit from Harris by citing a press release which indicated that state and local officials, rather than Biden administration officials, were responsible for negotiating with Qcells and attracting a recent $2.5 billion solar module fabrication initiative to Dalton. She also shared images of constituents peacefully protesting against Harris, noting the difference between them and the far-Left demonstrators that forced her to flee the rally in New York City.

“This is what protesters in my district in Northwest Georgia look like when they are protesting Kamala Harris coming to town, trying to take credit for jobs that President Trump and Governor Kemp created in Georgia back in 2019,” she said on social media. “Versus the Antifa style protesting mob of perverts, groomers, pedophiles, and baby killers.”

The Biden administration has established a “whole-of-government effort” to reduce carbon emissions and accelerate green energy expansion in the United States. Beyond the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, both of which earmarked substantial funds for climate initiatives, federal regulators under the administration have introduced new emissions rules for household appliances such as gas stoves and refrigerators.

The visit from Harris came days after the Biden administration announced that the Energy Department would create incentives for companies to develop renewable power infrastructure in current and former coal communities. Developers have indeed transitioned away from coal production: nearly one-quarter of the nation’s coal power capacity is slated to be retired within the next decade even as nations such as China and India rapidly expand their reliance on fossil fuels and increase their emissions to combat elevated power costs.

“President Biden came to the White House to end years of big words but little action to help energy-producing parts of the country, who for decades saw jobs exported out and products imported in, all while other countries surpassed the United States in critical sectors like infrastructure, clean energy, and semiconductors,” the White House said in a fact sheet. “The actions announced today will drive new investments in energy communities to support their economic revitalization, strengthen American supply chains, and help ensure coal, oil, and gas workers benefit from the new clean energy economy.”
