Biden, on three-state tour, designates new national monument

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : Returning from a week-long vacation, Biden arrived here on Monday evening for a three-state tour largely designed to promote his climate agenda and the billions of dollars in investment that the Inflation Reduction Act is pouring into clean energy.
61% :Ali Zaidi, assistant to the President and National Climate Advisor, added that Biden's policies were transforming the energy sector and touted investments in electric vehicles, solar and wind power.
58% :"To be clear, these are very small, very low-impact mines -- less than 20 acres in size -- and they are completely safe and responsible, and they contain a lot of clean energy," Trussell said.
54% : "Creating a National Monument in this region would directly hinder the Biden Administration's policies on clean energy."
30% : In May they joined several other nearby counties on the Utah side of the border in writing a letter telling the Biden administration not to make the designation, saying it would undermine decisions from Congress decades ago that specifically preserved areas for mining and grazing alongside other areas that got more environmental protections.
