US President Joe Biden had a much-needed victory on Sunday night when the US Senate passed his massive climate strategy.
The ambitious plan has a value of 430 billion dollars, and its goal is to work towards tackling climate change through green measures, as well as to limit the cost of medicine.
But according to former minister Kristian Jensen, the current head of Green Power Denmark, it is not just a gain for the Biden administration.
“It is an obvious opportunity for the entire structure of Danish companies that develop sustainable energy. I think this plan has huge potential for Denmark,” Jensen said according to DR.
Kamala the kicker
It has been a long time coming before the vote was in Biden’s favor, and it stalled when 50 out of the 100 members of the Senate voted for the plan.
US Vice President Kamala Harris had the final vote on the matter and approved the economic plan.
The next step for the plan will be to win the approval of the 435-seat House of Representatives, where Democrats hold the majority of those seats. The vote will take place on August 12, and the results Sunday night will help support Biden in the next vote.
Danish Industry sees promise
It also benefits Denmark, as Danish Industry seeks to invest in American green industries, and as this plan will be the USA’s largest investment in climate change, it will provide many more opportunities for Danish companies.
“The US is already showing great interest in Danish solutions within green energy, energy renovations, consultancy and water technology,” says Louis Funder, head of US-related topics for the trade association Dansk Industri, to TV2 News.
“When the agreement is complete, it will lead to more orders for Danish companies that manage to play their cards right.”
