  • Kinda like all the work Joe Biden has been doing for 11 years in the executive?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_policy_of_the_Joe_Biden_administration

    On his first day in office, Biden began to make policy changes to protect the environment. He began revising and strengthening the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and ordered a number of executive orders aimed at reviewing or undoing the environmental policies of the former administration, including removal of some wildlife protections,[8] the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline,[9] and drilling for oil and gas on federal lands.[10] He promised to end and reverse deforestation and land degradation by 2030.[11] As a first step in recognizing the impact of climate change on less developed nations—an impact which is largely the result of years of environmental damage caused by nations which have prospered—Biden signed an executive order to study the effects of climate change’s impact on migration, including “options for protection and resettlement.”[12] Biden appointed Pete Buttigieg as the Secretary of Transportation, and he is expected to work with the administration to reduce carbon emissions with plans such as improved public transportation, building a national network of electric vehicle chargers, and other strategies to reduce emissions.[13]

    The Biden administration delivered a tax plan to congress that aims to start winding back fossil fuel subsidies, replacing the subsidies with incentives to start producing green energy.[14] His proposed budget includes a 30% increase in clean energy research and development, $2 billion to be invested in green energy projects and $6.5 billion to lend to rural communities in support of additional green energy, power storage, and transmission projects.[15] Biden has ordered the amount of energy produced from offshore wind turbines to be doubled by 2030.[16][17]

    In August 2022, Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which includes the largest federal climate change investment in American history ($391 billion).[18][19] With this law and additional federal and state measures, the USA can fulfill its pledge in Paris agreement: 50% greenhouse gas emissions reduction by the year 2030.[20][21]








  • Bernie would have done worse, especially considering the tight Congress and House he would’ve had in either Trump’s or Biden’s presidency. Biden has been beyond exceptional with being the voice of reason for the few elected Republicans that will cross the aisle who aren’t full on brainwashed by Trump goose stepping their way into a fascist theocracy.

    Bernie Bros including myself who voted for him every chance I got, which was exactly once, would’ve also gotten a swift kick in the realities regarding why the three separations of powers is thing. There’s a reason Bernie didn’t run a second time.
