Gov. Brian Kemp picked an unusual spot to deliver his sharpest remarks yet against President Joe Biden’s green energy initiatives: an electric battery supplier that is directly benefiting from a surge of federal spending championed by the White House.
At a Tuesday ceremony for a new $800 million Anovion Technologies factory in Bainbridge, Kemp framed the state’s green energy boom as the product of state-level Republican policies — and not, he said, “because the federal government continues to put their thumb on the scale, favoring a few companies over the industry as a whole.”
“When President Biden and others falsely try to take credit for Georgia’s success, don’t forget that next year is an election year,” Kemp said, pointedly praising the “unsung heroes” in his administration working to recruit businesses.
