Joe Biden was considering declaring a "climate emergency" so then he could use the Defense Production Act to impose his climate agenda on private industry, and spend all kinds of money that Congress wasn't allowing him to do. Now, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has confirmed that they are considering the idea, although they will not be declaring it this week
Jean-Pierre added that if the administration does declare the emergency, it would unlock a certain "pot of funding" but didn't give many specifics.
- In a blueprint, the Center for Biological Diversity outlined executive actions under a "climate emergency"
- Halt crude oil exports. Stop oil and gas drilling. Restrict international trade and private investment in fossil fuels. Order defense industry to ramp up clean energy tech
- “He’s going to take, as I said, additional climate actions in that vein tomorrow, and he’s going to continue — he’s not going to just stop with the actions of tomorrow, but I would not plan [an] announcement this week on [a] national climate emergency,” Jean-Pierre told reporters during a press briefing.
