Biden
President Joe Biden speaks about investing in clean energy manufacturing at CS Wind in Pueblo, Colorado.
  • The Biden administration unveiled a rule linking clean energy tax breaks to worker pay.
  • Projects must hire apprentices and pay prevailing wages to qualify for increased tax breaks.
  • The credits could boost clean energy job wages, helping close the pay gap with fossil fuel jobs.

The Biden administration wants to ensure businesses are paying their clean energy workers well — and it's using a new tax break to push for it.
