President Joe Biden announced a historic $7.3 billion investment in rural clean energy during a visit to Westby, Wisconsin, marking the largest rural electrification effort since the 1930s. The funding, sourced from the Inflation Reduction Act, will support 16 rural electric cooperatives across 23 states, including significant investments in Dairyland Power Cooperative. This initiative aims to produce over 10 gigawatts of clean energy, benefiting roughly 5 million rural households. Biden also addressed the recent school shooting in Georgia, emphasizing the need for comprehensive gun control measures. The visit underscores Biden's commitment to rural economic development and clean energy as part of his broader agenda.
