During a visit to the Port of Baltimore, President Joe Biden announced a $3 billion investment to electrify U.S. ports, including $147 million for Baltimore. This initiative under the Clean Ports Program aims to decarbonize cargo operations, support approximately 40,000 union jobs, and reduce harmful emissions. This funding is part of Biden's infrastructure plan and highlights the administration's commitment to clean energy and economic growth. Officials argue that healthier communities and a robust economy can go hand in hand, soliciting considerable support from environmental justice advocates.
