Biden Poised To Remove Subsidies for Fossil Fuels, Gets High Marks from Environmentalists for His First 26 Days

From this article on Biden and environmental responsibility:

President Biden dubbed Jan. 27, exactly one week after he took office, “climate day.” On this day, the president followed up on his day one climate order to rejoin the Paris Agreement and revoke Keystone XL pipeline with another bigger, broader order pushing the federal government closer toward confronting the climate crisis. 

There is a lot to unpack in the landmark climate day order. The president set up a National Climate Task Force; emphasized science in federal policy-making; recommitted the United States to international climate leadership, including hosting a global summit on Earth Day, April 22; and preserved public lands and oceans by pausing oil and gas leases.

Progressives have very little to dislike about Biden’s performance thus far across the board, and that’s especially true of environmental responsibility.  In 26 days, he’s undone a great deal of the damage Trump caused in four years, and now appears ready to hasten the phasing out of fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy.

I thought he was going to be a snooze (albeit a very welcome snooze), but so far I’ve been wrong.
