President Biden's ambitious emissions-reduction goals that encourage investment in green energy to drive the country away from fossil fuels will be conducted in a series of executive actions, according to Houston Chronicle. This comes weeks after Congress approved $370 billion in clean energy funding that will pave the way for the US to slash emissions by half in eight years.
Over the next year, the Biden administration will announce a series of federal policies to accelerate emission reductions for power plants and vehicles, the two most significant drivers of oil and natural gas demand.
"These administrative actions are absolutely essential for the US to get to the science-based target of a 50% reduction by 2030," said Matthew Davis, legislative director at the League of Conservation Voters. "They're separate from the Inflation Reduction Act, but they're also amplifying it," he said.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is expected to say in a speech in Detroit on Thursday that Biden's emissions-reduction goals following recent climate legislation "will put us well on our way toward a future where we depend on the wind, sun, and other clean sources for our energy ... and rid ourselves from our current dependence on fossil fuels and the whims of autocrats like Putin."
Yellen's speech represents the clear objective of the administration: to rid the US of fossil fuels. Executive orders are the only way to accelerate a rapid expansion of electric vehicle sales and clean energy on the grid.
Oil and gas industry lobbyists sound the alarm over the administration's quick transition to a green new world that will drive US energy prices through the roof.
"Policymakers must know that a swift transition comes at a cost to the American consumer," said Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of policy at the American Petroleum Institute. "The burden falls upon them to put in place a regulatory structure that provides for stable energy markets," he said.
Under the guise of extreme weather, such as heatwaves and droughts, President Biden has called for an expedited shift towards a green power grid:
"As President, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger," Biden said. "And that's what climate change is about. It is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger.

Clear and Present Dangers are from those that seek to use smokes and mirrors of projected nonsense, and hoarding our resources to control populace, create on purpose poverty, and divide a Nation, in my opinion!
If those that abuse powers are concerned about their futures, tis my opinion, they need to be getting right with God, thank God for USA's abundance, and stop themselves from playing God! There are many natural blessed resources for this Nation to sustain itself from land to sea. Projected dependence on those reputed polluting non-practical electrical cars makes no sense IMO! Guess they want few to own vehicles, right?
Absurd too, demanding the blessed winds, the sun, to be available when they want, when at all times our reliable other resources can do the job, did the job, IMO! Sounds like an excuse to micromanage usage of God given resources not theirs to hoard, IMO! Restructuring for improvements is backwards! IMO, it's our Agencies/Government that is in need of restructuring, not what resources once worked, not con-jobs to subvert the natural, and here we are, hearing blah, blah, blah, about visions of grandeur by the few that seem to not know what they do, in my opinion. Or just evil??
American's need to rid ourselves of being bullied to a pulp daily by yet another IMO delusional concept simultaneously while inflation increases, this just to tighten the noose, and for reasons being what??? Quacks, con-artist, snake oil con's, comes to mind, right? Use our air, breathe, and stop worrying about emissions only while they want to create worse ones, about population, about tomorrow, or fifty years from now; We may not exist, or be practical in sense, try to keep all affordable while using common-sense moving forward, right? It's all in the minds of those that need to take their rose-colored glasses OFF, IMO!!!!!!!
Reality is, America was fine or sustainable till man started implementing
Orwellian mind-thinking, IMO! Then constant attempts to take USA down the rabbit hole those Tyrants went, IMO! So, we can plug the hole if American's unite, in my opinion! Surreal-having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream, a dream made up concepts and words are used to create stupidity at it's worse, right? This fits our present Tyrannical
Heads at the Helm if one ponders as to why we are even discussing stupid, IMO!!
