President Joe Biden
- In a speech Wednesday in Massachusetts, Biden announced that he would use yet more executive action in a bid to push his radical climate agenda
- The administration is aiming to overhaul the energy sector and the American economy to achieve the costly and unrealistic objectives of halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reaching economy-wide net-zero emissions by 2050
- Biden stopped short of invoking national emergency powers to achieve his climate agenda as rumored, while promising more regulatory and executive actions to come
- He announced $385 million for weatherization projects and air-conditioning units and diverting $2.3 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds for infrastructure
- Policymakers should be very leery of using global warming as a scapegoat, only to misdiagnose problems and consequently ignore real solutions
The Real Emergency
- No matter what one thinks about the nature and pace of global warming, the president's self-proclaimed reason for unilateral action should be appalling to all Americans: "Congress isn't acting as it should."
- Americans' elected representatives set policy, not a king in the White House (regardless of party) or bureaucrats keen on legislating via regulation.
- Congress' role in establishing policy was reinforced by the Supreme Court's June 30 decision in West Virginia v. EPA, severely limiting the ability of regulatory agencies to develop major policies without clear direction from Congress.
