Clean Energy Victory Bonds: Citizen Investment in Renewable Infrastructure
This law establishes a new type of government savings bond, available to citizens starting at $25, specifically designed to finance clean energy projects like solar, wind, and electric vehicle infrastructure nationwide. The proceeds are directed to a dedicated Trust Fund, which is mandated to allocate at least 40% of the funds to projects in disadvantaged communities, helping them reduce energy costs. This offers a voluntary investment opportunity while simultaneously boosting green job creation and national energy security.
