Biden highlights clean energy 'boom' at New Mexico wind tower plant

ALBUQUERQUE, Aug 9 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will
take his economic pitch to New Mexico on Wednesday with remarks
at the groundbreaking of an Arcosa wind tower manufacturing
facility at which the White House said he will highlight a U.S.
clean energy and manufacturing boom.
Biden, a Democrat who is running for re-election, will tout
his "Bidenomics" economic policies at the revamped,
previously-shuttered facility, which a White House official said
would be creating 250 new jobs in the state.
"The groundbreaking will mark the transformation of this
shuttered facility into a clean energy manufacturing factory,
showing the opportunity and promise that Bidenomics is bringing
to communities across the country while helping to meet our
climate goals," the White House official said.
The White House and the Biden campaign are eager to win over
skeptical Americans about the effectiveness of his policies to
boost the economy and fight global warming.
