VERBATIM: The Energy Department will issue grants totaling $1.7 billion to create or retain thousands of union jobs and support auto-based communities. The White House says the grants cover a broad range of the automotive supply chain. They include electric motorcycles and school buses, hybrid powertrains, heavy-duty commercial truck batteries and electric SUVs. The 2022 climate law pays for the grants.
