President Biden was criticized this week after pledging to send taxpayer money to help South Africa go green.

During remarks at the U.S.-Africa Business Forum, the president said funds would help replace coal plants with renewable energy in South Africa and bring clean hydrogen to the region.

“Today’s announcements join a portfolio of Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment projects already underway in Africa, including mobilizing $8 billion in public and private finance to help South Africa replace coal-fired power plants with renewable energy sources and develop cutting-edge energy solutions like clean hydrogen; a deal worth $2 billion to build solar energy projects in Angola; $600 million in high-speed telecommunications cable that will connect Southeast Asia to Europe via Egypt and the Horn of Africa and help bring high-speed Internet connectivity to countries all along the way,” he said of the effort by the U.S., United Kingdom, France, Germany and the European Union to transition South Africa from coal.
