This week, President Biden reiterated that climate change is a clear and present danger to the United States. Since Congress is not acting on this emergency, the President will. In the coming weeks, President Biden will announce additional executive actions to combat this emergency.
On Wednesday, President Biden announced his latest set of executive actions to turn the climate crisis into an opportunity, by creating good-paying jobs in clean energy and lowering costs for families. His actions will protect communities from climate impacts already here, including extreme heat conditions impacting more than 100 million Americans this week, and expand offshore wind opportunities and jobs in the United States.
The President made this announcement at a former coal-fired power plant in Brayton Point, Massachusetts that hosted a cable manufacturing facility to support the flourishing offshore wind industry – representing how the President’s leadership is accelerating the nation’s transition away from the pollution, environmental injustice, and volatile price swings of the past toward the good-paying jobs and energy security of the future. |
