Understanding Biden’s Climate Accomplishments
Below, environmentalist Zan Dubin, whom I highly respect, makes a point not too dissimilar to what I’ve often said about the failure of the media to cover Biden’s accomplishments, especially those pertaining to climate change mitigation and adaptation. She writes:A small minority of Americans know about the historic contribution the Biden Admin has made to fighting climate change. Please take one fact here and keep talking about it. Here are some juicy points:
In his first term, Joe Biden has done more to address climate change than any President before him. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) alone is expected to wipe out 21 billion tons of planet-warming pollution between now and 2050. For comparison, that’s 73 times more emissions than the infamous Willow Project will emit over the same period. It’s like canceling out the emissions from the entire country of India for a decade.
Trump talked a lot about bringing manufacturing back to America and creating blue-collar jobs. But under Biden, manufacturing investment has grown faster than at any time in recent history thanks largely to the IRA. During Trump’s presidency, manufacturing spending grew by 5%. Under Biden, it has grown by 279%.
For decades, environmental advocates have tried to convince lawmakers to pass even the most marginal climate policies. And they’ve failed. It wasn’t until Biden took office that the logjam broke and the climate policies flowed. Since then, America has experienced remarkable progress.
There is only one thing that is incorrect with what you have here Craig.
What’s incorrect is the fact that the only thing the Government is interested in is “commercialized” products.
Anything not commercialized – not interested.
so I agree that his administration is doing better than anyone else – but they ae not doing all that they could – because the present commercialized stuff gets blown into the weeds by the POD MOD – which you have the in formation on – but are sitting on it.
Well guess what — it’s going elsewhere – outside the US / by invitation from the President of that area which wants it.
And when the US electric bill payer finds out that the US Government kept them from having the $0.10 per hour / $72 per 30 day week / set rate price / across the US — it is going to “hit the fan”.
