Clean Energy and Jobs in Georgia: A Discussion with U.S. Senator Reverend Warnock and Georgia Leaders
Watch a conversation with U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock on clean energy and jobs in Georgia held on Wednesday, July 28.
Senator Warnock was joined by several clean energy business leaders to discuss the job creation, economic, and environmental justice benefits of federal investments in clean energy as well as clean transportation and infrastructure.
Senator Warnock and the panelists made clear in the conversation:
We don’t have a lot of time to embrace this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take meaningful action on climate.
