President Joe Biden entered the presidency with ambitious climate and environmental goals, making promises on the campaign trail to deliver a clean energy economy.
After entering office, he put forth climate and clean energy plans with goals of accelerating the US energy transition, including making two-thirds of new passenger vehicles all-electric by 2032.
“We can live up to our responsibilities, meet the challenges of a world at risk of a climate catastrophe, build more climate-resilient communities, put millions of skilled workers on the job, and make life markedly better and safer for the American people all at once,” Biden said on his campaign site in 2020.
“The United States must lead the world to take on the existential threat we face—climate change,” Biden wrote in Foreign Affairs Magazine in 2020. “If we don’t get this right, nothing else will matter.”“President Biden’s radical climate agenda caters to environmental extremists and is incredibly threatening to the livelihoods of people in the West, particularly in my home state of Wyoming,” Lummis said.
Multiple Democratic leaders and supporters voiced their concerns about the project. Protests and opposition across the country arose as well. Biden followed through on his campaign pledge on January 20, signing the executive order to reenter the international effort to curtail global warming. “Many of these minerals could be mined right here in the United States, where there are high standards that protect the environment and workers,” Lummis said, referring to the mining and processing of minerals needed to produce EV batteries. “It makes no sense that President Biden is unwilling to take steps to speed up domestic energy and mineral production here at home.
“Today’s announcement is a testament to the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to working with states, Tribes, and communities throughout the West to find consensus solutions in the face of climate change and sustained drought,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a statement. Sen. Manchin, who has distanced himself from the Democratic party on polarizing issues, was the only Blue party member to vote to repeal Biden’s rule.
